    perf: Add perf probe subcommand, a kprobe-event setup helper · 4ea42b18
    Masami Hiramatsu 提交于
    Add perf probe subcommand that implements a kprobe-event setup helper
    to the perf command.
    This allows user to define kprobe events using C expressions (C line
    numbers, C function names, and C local variables).
    
    Usage
    -----
     perf probe [<options>] -P 'PROBEDEF' [-P 'PROBEDEF' ...]
    
        -k, --vmlinux <file>  vmlinux/module pathname
        -P, --probe <p|r:[GRP/]NAME FUNC[+OFFS][@src]|@src:LINE [ARG ...]>
                              probe point definition, where
    		p:	kprobe probe
    		r:	kretprobe probe
    		GRP:	Group name (optional)
    		NAME:	Event name
    		FUNC:	Function name
    		OFFS:	Offset from function entry (in byte)
    		SRC:	Source code path
    		LINE:	Line number
    		ARG:	Probe argument (local variable name or
    			kprobe-tracer argument format is supported.)
    
    Changes in v4:
     - Add _GNU_SOURCE macro for strndup().
    
    Changes in v3:
     - Remove -r option because perf always be used for online kernel.
     - Check malloc/calloc results.
    
    Changes in v2:
     - Check synthesized string length.
     - Rename perf kprobe to perf probe.
     - Use spaces for separator and update usage comment.
     - Check error paths in parse_probepoint().
     - Check optimized-out variables.
