    perf trace: Warn the user when not available · 1b572622
    Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
    When the audit-libs devel package is not found at build time we disable
    the 'trace' command, as we are not able to map syscall numbers to
    strings, but then the message the user is presented is cryptic:
    
      [root@zoo linux]# trace ls
      perf: 'ls' is not a perf-command. See 'perf --help'.
    
    Fix it by presenting a more helpful message:
    
      [root@zoo linux]# trace l
      trace command not available: missing audit-libs devel package at build time.
