To print the syscall name, the audit-libs-python package
should be required. If not installed, print
the erron string e.g.
# perf script syscall-counts
Install the audit-libs-python package to get syscall names.
But the package name is different in Ubuntu
so append examples the erron string like below.
(similar to a error message of util/trace-event-scripting.c)
# perf script syscall-counts
Install the audit-libs-python package to get syscall names.
For example:
# apt-get install python-audit (Ubuntu)
# yum install audit-libs-python (Fedora)
etc.
