      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.
