Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 1b700c9975 perf tools: Build syscall table .c header from kernel's syscall_64.tbl
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.

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.

Syscalls currently not available in audit-libs:

  # trace -e copy_file_range,membarrier,mlock2,pread64,pwrite64,timerfd_create,userfaultfd
  Error:	Invalid syscall copy_file_range, membarrier, mlock2, pread64, pwrite64, timerfd_create, userfaultfd
  Hint:	try 'perf list syscalls:sys_enter_*'
  Hint:	and: 'man syscalls'
  #

With this patch:

  # trace -e copy_file_range,membarrier,mlock2,pread64,pwrite64,timerfd_create,userfaultfd
