tools lib traceevent: Separate out tep_strerror() for strerror_r() issues While working on having PowerTop use libtracevent as a shared object library, Tzvetomir hit "str_error_r not defined". This was added by commit c3cec9e68f12d ("tools lib traceevent: Use str_error_r()") because strerror_r() has two definitions, where one is GNU specific, and the other is XSI complient. The strerror_r() is in a wrapper str_error_r() to keep the code from having to worry about which compiler is being used. The problem is that str_error_r() is external to libtraceevent, and not part of the library. If it is used as a shared object then the tools using it will need to define that function. I do not want that function defined in libtraceevent itself, as it is out of scope for that library. As there's only a single instance of this call, and its in the traceevent library's own tep_strerror() function, we can copy what was done in perf, and create yet another external file that undefs _GNU_SOURCE to use the more portable version of the function. We don't need to worry about the errors that strerror_r() returns. If the buffer isn't big enough, we simply truncate it.

/*
* The tools so far have been using the strerror_r() GNU variant, that returns
* a string, be it the buffer passed or something else.
*
* But that, besides being tricky in cases where we expect that the function
* using strerror_r() returns the error formatted in a provided buffer (we have
* to check if it returned something else and copy that instead), breaks the
* build on systems not using glibc, like Alpine Linux, where musl libc is
* used.
*
* So, introduce yet another wrapper, str_error_r(), that has the GNU
* interface, but uses the portable XSI variant of strerror_r(), so that users
* rest asured that the provided buffer is used and it is what is returned.
