[RFC PATCH 3/3] tracing: Teach FETCH_MTD_{symbol,deref} to handleper-cpu data

[Oleg Nesterov]

@symbol can't be used to dump the per-cpu variables. The same is
true for +offset(something) if "something" results in __percpu
pointer.

With this patch parse_probe_offset() treats "~" before the numeric
offset as "per cpu" mark and stores it in the lowest bit,
calc_probe_offset() simply adds per_cpu_offset(smp_processor_id())
if this bit is set.

We could turn {dprm,sc}->offset into the "struct probe_offset" which
holds offset + is_percpu, but this hack looks simple enough and I hope
that LONG_MAX/2 is enough for the numeric offset.

Test-case: 2088 == offsetof(struct rq, curr)

  # perf probe 'do_exit curr=%%current rq_curr=@runqueues+~2088:u64'
  # perf record -e probe:do_exit true
  # perf --no-pager script | tail -1
	true   537 [000]   521.282640: probe:do_exit: (ffffffff8103dd60) \
	curr=ffff88001da8c900 rq_curr=ffff88001da8c900
