To print syscall names, the audit-libs-python package is required.. If
not installed, it prints this error string:
# perf script syscall-counts
Install the audit-libs-python package to get syscall names.
But the package name is different in Ubuntu, mention that in the error
message, 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.
