Older kernels (e.g., RHEL6) do system call tracing via the
syscalls:sys_{enter,exit} tracepoints rather than using raw_syscalls:*.
Update perf python and perl scripts to fallback to syscalls:* when
raw_syscalls:* isn't available.

The tracepoints used by the workqueue-stats script no longer exist so
trying to run the script results in:
# perf script record workqueue-stats
invalid or unsupported event: 'workqueue:workqueue_creation'
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events
So remove the script until it can be reworked using the new workqueue
tracepoints.

The scripts have calls to 'perf trace' that need to be converted to 'perf script', do it.
This problem was introduced in 133dc4c.

Including -a unconditionally when recording doesn't allow for the
option of running scripts without it. Future patches will add add it
back if needed at run-time.

Set $PERF_EXEC_PATH before starting the record and report scripts, and
make them use it where necessary.

A couple small fixes for the failed syscalls script:
- The script description says it can be restricted to a specific comm,
make it so.
- silence the match output in the shell script

-f, -c 1, -R are now useless for trace events recording, moreover
-M is useless and event hurts.
Remove them from the documentation examples and from record scripts.

It should be possible to run any perf trace script in 'live
mode'. This requires being able to pass in e.g. '-i -' or other
args, which the current shell scripts aren't equipped to handle.
In a few cases, there are required or optional args that also
need special handling. This patch makes changes the current set
of shell scripts as necessary.

A couple of scripts, one in Python and the other in Perl, that
demonstrate 'live mode' tracing. For each, the output of the
perf event stream is fed continuously to the script, which
continuously aggregates the data and reports the current results
every 3 seconds, or at the optionally specified interval. After
the current results are displayed, the aggregations are cleared
and the cycle begins anew.
To run the scripts, simply pipe the output of the 'perf trace
record' step as input to the corresponding 'perf trace report'
step, using '-' as the filename to -o and -i:
$ perf trace record sctop -o - | perf trace report sctop -i -
Also adds clear_term() utility functions to the Util.pm and
Util.py utility modules, for use by any script to clear the
screen.

Adds a set of scripts that aggregate system call totals and system
call errors. Most are Python scripts that also test basic
functionality of the new Python engine, but there's also one Perl
script added for comparison and for reference in some new
Documentation contained in a later patch.

The check-perf-trace script only checks Perl functionality, and
doesn't really need to be listed as as user script anyway.
This only removes the '-report' shell script, so although it doesn't
appear in the listing, the '-record' shell script and the check perf
trace perl script itself is still available and can still be run
manually as such:
$ libexec/perf-core/scripts/perl/bin/check-perf-trace-record
$ perf trace -s libexec/perf-core/scripts/perl/check-perf-trace.pl

Lists the available perf trace scripts, one per line e.g.:
root@tropicana:~# perf trace -l
List of available trace scripts:
workqueue-stats workqueue stats (ins/exe/create/destroy)
wakeup-latency system-wide min/max/avg wakeup latency
rw-by-file <comm> r/w activity for a program, by file
check-perf-trace useless but exhaustive test script
rw-by-pid system-wide r/w activity
To be consistent with the other listing options in perf, the
current latency trace option was changed to '-L', and '-l' is
now used to access the script listing as:
To create the list, it searches each scripts/*/bin directory for
files ending with "-report" and reads information found in
certain comment lines contained in those shell scripts:
- if the comment line starts with "description:", the rest of the
line is used as a 'half-line' description. To keep each line in
the list to a single line, the description should be limited to 40
characters (the rest of the line contains the script name and
args)
- if the comment line starts with "args:", the rest of the line
names the args the script supports. Required args should be
surrounded by <> brackets, optional args by [] brackets.
The current scripts in scripts/perl/bin have also been updated
with description: and args: comments.

One oversight of the original scripting_ops patch was a lack of
support for passing args to handler scripts. This adds
argc/argv to the start_script() scripting_op, and changes the
rw-by-file script to take 'comm' arg rather than the 'perf'
value currently hard-coded. It also takes the opportunity to do
some related minor cleanup.

To capture the relevant events for a given Perl script and to
avoid having to continually remember and type in long
command-lines, add a scripts/perl/bin directory containing two
simple shell scripts for each Perl script, one for recording and
one for processing/display. For example, to record perf data for
the rw-by-pid.pl script, run scripts/perl/bin/rw-by-pid-record
and to actually run the script and display the output run
scripts/perl/bin/rw-by-pid-report.
