2026-09-26perf python: Port failed-syscalls from Perl to perf moduleIan Rogers
Replace the legacy Perl script failed-syscalls.pl with a standalone Python script in tools/perf/python/failed-syscalls.py using the perf Python module. Improvements compared to the legacy Perl script: - Remove the dependency on libperl and Perf::Trace::Util. - Support both syscalls:sys_exit_* and raw_syscalls:sys_exit events (the legacy script only handled raw_syscalls::sys_exit). - Use session.is_64_bit to distinguish 32-bit vs 64-bit unsigned error return ranges (0xfffff000..0xffffffff vs >= 0xfffffffffffff000) so valid 64-bit syscalls returning ~4GB values are not misclassified as 32-bit negative errors. - Add argparse CLI support (-i/--input and optional comm filter) and full type annotations. Add a shell test (test_failed_syscalls_python.sh) to verify the standalone script.
