Initially it tries to find a probe:vfs_getname that should be setup
with:
perf probe 'vfs_getname=getname_flags:65 pathname=result->name:string'
or with slight changes to cope with code flux in the getname_flags code.
In the future, if a "vfs:getname" tracepoint becomes available, then it
will be preferred.
This is not strictly required and more expensive method of reading the
/proc/pid/fd/ symlink will be used when the fd->path array entry is not
populated by a previous vfs_getname + open syscall ret sequence.
As with any other 'perf probe' probe the setup must be done just once
and the probe will be left inactive, waiting for users, be it 'perf
trace' of any other tool.

kcore can be used to view the running kernel object code. However,
kcore changes as modules are loaded and unloaded, and when the kernel
decides to modify its own code. Consequently it is useful to create a
copy of kcore at a particular time. Unlike vmlinux, kcore is not unique
for a given build-id. And in addition, the kallsyms and modules files
are also needed. The tool therefore creates a directory:
~/.debug/[kernel.kcore]/<build-id>/<YYYYmmddHHMMSShh>
which contains: kcore, kallsyms and modules.
Note that the copied kcore contains only code sections. See the
kcore_copy() function for how that is determined.
The tool will not make additional copies of kcore if there is already
one with the same modules at the same addresses.
Currently, perf tools will not look for kcore in the cache. That is
addressed in another patch.

Arnaldo reported that 'make DEBUG=1' does not work anymore.
The reason is that 'Makefile' only passes it through to
'Makefile.perf' via the environment, but 'Makefile.perf'
checks that it's a command line option:
ifeq ("$(origin DEBUG)", "command line")
PERF_DEBUG = $(DEBUG)
endif
So pass it through properly, and also clean up DEBUG parameter
handling while at it and fix a couple of annoyances:
- DEBUG=0 used to be interpreted as 'debugging on'. Turn it
into 'debugging off' instead.
- Same was the case for 'DEBUG=' - turn that into debug-off
as well.
- Pass in just a clean, sanitized 'DEBUG' value and get rid of
the intermediate, unnecessary PERF_DEBUG variable.

Currently, execution of 'perf trace' reports the following cryptic
message to the user:
$ perf trace
Couldn't read the raw_syscalls tracepoints information!
Typically this happens because the user does not have permissions to
read the debugfs filesystem. Also handle the case when the kernel was
not compiled with debugfs support or when it isn't mounted.
Now, the tool prints detailed error messages:
$ perf trace
Error: Unable to find debugfs
Hint: Was your kernel was compiled with debugfs support?
Hint: Is the debugfs filesystem mounted?
Hint: Try 'sudo mount -t debugfs nodev /sys/kernel/debug'
$ perf trace
Error: No permissions to read /sys/kernel/debug//tracing/events/raw_syscalls
Hint: Try 'sudo mount -o remount,mode=755 /sys/kernel/debug/'
