samples/bpf: Use kyscall instead of kprobe in syscall tracing program
Syscall tracing using kprobe is quite unstable. Since it uses the exact name of the kernel function, the program might broke due to the rename of a function. The problem can also be caused by a changes in the arguments of the function to which the kprobe connects. In this commit, ksyscall is used instead of kprobe. By using ksyscall, libbpf will detect the appropriate kernel function name. (e.g. sys_write -> __s390_sys_write). This eliminates the need to worry about which wrapper function to attach in order to parse arguments. In addition, ksyscall provides more fine method with attaching system call, the coarse SYSCALL helper at trace_common.h can be removed. Signed-off-by: Daniel T.
