When the vfs_getname() wannabe tracepoint is in place: # perf probe -l probe:vfs_getname (on getname_flags:73@acme/git/linux/fs/namei.c with pathname) # 'perf trace' will use it to get the pathname when it is copied from userspace to the kernel, right after syscalls:sys_enter_open, copied in the 'probe:vfs_getname', stash it somewhere and then, at syscalls:sys_exit_open time, if the 'open' return is not -1, i.e. a successfull open syscall, associate that pathname to this return, i.e. the fd. We were not doing this for the 'openat' syscall, which would cause 'perf trace' to fallback to using /proc to get the fd, change it so that we use what we got from probe:vfs_getname, reducing the 'openat' beautification process cost, ditching the syscalls performed to read procfs state and avoiding some possible races in the process.
