tracing: Support for syscall events raw records in perfcounters
This bring the support for raw syscall events in perfcounters. The arguments or exit value are saved as a raw sample using the PERF_SAMPLE_RAW attribute in a perf counter. Example (for now you must explicitly set the PERF_SAMPLE_RAW flag in perf record): perf record -e syscalls:sys_enter_open -f -F 1 -a perf report -D 0x2cbb8 [0x50]: event: 9 . . ... raw event: size 80 bytes . 0000: 09 00 00 00 02 00 50 00 20 e9 39 ab 0a 7f 00 00 ......P. .9.... . 0010: bc 14 00 00 bc 14 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ............... . 0020: 2c 00 00 00 15 01 01 00 bc 14 00 00 bc 14 00 00 ,.............. ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ..........................
