We have $INSTALL_DIR/share/perf-core/strace/groups/string files with syscalls that should be selected when 'string' is used, meaning, in this case, syscalls that receive as one of its arguments a string, like a pathname. But those were first selected and tested on x86_64, and end up failing in architectures where some of those syscalls are not available, like the 'access' syscall on arm64, which makes using 'perf trace -e string' in such archs to fail. Since this the routine doing the validation is used only when reading such files, do not fail when some syscall is not found in the syscalltbl, instead just use pr_debug() to register that in case people are suspicious of problems. Now using 'perf trace -e string' should work on arm64, selecting only the syscalls that have a string and are available on that architecture.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
