Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 0a6545bda2 perf trace: Show only failing syscalls
For instance:

  # perf probe "vfs_getname=getname_flags:72 pathname=result->name:string"
  Added new event:
    probe:vfs_getname    (on getname_flags:72 with pathname=result->name:string)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

	  perf record -e probe:vfs_getname -aR sleep 1

  # perf trace --failure sleep 1
     0.043 ( 0.010 ms): sleep/10978 access(filename: /etc/ld.so.preload, mode: R) = -1 ENOENT No such file or directory

For reference, here are all the syscalls in this case:

  # perf trace sleep 1
         ? (         ): sleep/10976  ... [continued]: execve()) = 0
       0.027 ( 0.001 ms): sleep/10976 brk() = 0x55bdc2d04000

       0.274 ( 0.001 ms): sleep/10976 brk() = 0x55bdc2d25000
       0.278 ( 0.007 ms): sleep/10976 open(filename: /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive, flags: CLOEXEC) = 3

    1000.596 (         ): sleep/10976 exit_group()
  #

And can be done systemwide, etc, with backtraces:

  # perf trace --max-stack=16 --failure sleep 1
     0.048 ( 0.015 ms): sleep/11092 access(filename: /etc/ld.so.preload, mode: R) = -1 ENOENT No such file or directory
                                       __access (inlined)
                                       dl_main (/usr/lib64/ld-2.26.so)
  #

Or for some specific syscalls:

  # perf trace --max-stack=16 -e openat --failure cat /tmp/rien
  cat: /tmp/rien: No such file or directory
       0.251 ( 0.012 ms): cat/11106 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: /tmp/rien) = -1 ENOENT No such file or directory
                                         __libc_open64 (inlined)
                                         main (/usr/bin/cat)
                                         __libc_start_main (/usr/lib64/libc-2.26.so)
                                         _start (/usr/bin/cat)
  #

Look for inotify* syscalls that fail, system wide, for 2 seconds, with backtraces:

  # perf trace -a --max-stack=16 --failure -e inotify* sleep 2
   819.165 ( 0.058 ms): gmain/1724 inotify_add_watch(fd: 8<anon_inode:inotify>, pathname: /home/acme/~, mask: 16789454) = -1 ENOENT No such file or directory

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
