We used libaudit to map ids to syscall names and vice-versa, but that imposes a delay in supporting new syscalls, having to wait for libaudit to get those new syscalls on its tables.
and for the distribution to get the new libaudit.
To remove that delay, for x86_64 initially, grab a copy of arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscall_64.tbl and use it to generate those tables.
Now that's a benefit for perf in the kernel tree. What happens for out of tree perf builds? Are the requisite files included in the tarball? (apparently no, since the manifest file is not updated or perhaps I missed it)
