perf trace: Handle legacy syscalls tracepoints
Currently the code skips the first field with the expectation that it is 'nr'. But older kernels do not have the 'nr' field: field:int nr; offset:8; size:4; signed:1; Change perf-trace to drop the field if it exists after parsing the format file. This fixes the off-by-one problem with older kernels (e.g., RHEL6). e.g, perf-trace shows this for write: 1.515 ( 0.006 ms): dd/4245 write(buf: 2</dev/pts/0>, count: 140733837536224 ) = 26 where 2 is really the fd, the huge number is really the buf address, etc. With this patch you get the more appropriate: 1.813 ( 0.003 ms): dd/6330 write(fd: 2</dev/pts/0>, buf: 0x7fff22fc81f0, count: 25) = 25 Based-on-a-patch-by: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Acked-by: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de> Cc: Don Zickus <dzickus@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-gvpdave4u2yq2jnzbcdznpvf@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
