The workload tracing guide shows how to build a cscope database by
running cscope command directly. The kernel build system also provides
a cscope target, which supports IGNORE_DIRS for excluding directories
from the generated database.
Mention make cscope and show how to exclude Documentation/ as an example.

The workload tracing guide lists a fixed set of benchmarks for
"perf bench all". This list is stale and can become outdated when
perf adds, removes, or renames benchmark collections or individual
benchmarks.
Describe "perf bench all" as running all available benchmarks in the perf
bench framework instead. Also document how to list the collections and
benchmarks available on a given system.

The workload tracing guide includes stress-ng command examples with a
stray "command." word at the end. This makes the examples invalid if they
are copied and run directly.
Remove the stray word from the stress-ng example. Also use "--" in the
perf record example to clearly separate perf record options from the
workload command being recorded.

Fix several typos in the workload tracing guide:
- sys_opennat() -> sys_openat()
- annotate the to view -> annotate the output to view
- sys_getegid -> sys_getegid()

This patch updates the Linux documentation for cscope, fixing two issues:
1. Corrects the typo in the command line:
c"scope -d -p10 -> cscope -d -p10
2. Fixes the related documentation comment for clarity and correctness:
cscope by default cscope.out database.
->
cscope by default uses the cscope.out database.

All architectures now support HAVE_SYSCALL_TABLE_SUPPORT, so the flag is
no longer needed. With the removal of the flag, the related
GENERIC_SYSCALL_TABLE can also be removed.
libaudit was only used as a fallback for when HAVE_SYSCALL_TABLE_SUPPORT
was not defined, so libaudit is also no longer needed for any
architecture.

Add a new section to the admin-guide with information of interest to
application developers and system integrators doing analysis of the
Linux kernel for safety critical applications.
This section will contain documents supporting analysis of kernel
interactions with applications, and key kernel subsystems expectations.
Add a new workload-tracing document to this new section.
