Masami Hiramatsu 4ea42b1814 perf: Add perf probe subcommand, a kprobe-event setup helper ... 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.
