[PATCH 26/39] perf tools: Suppress probing messages when probing by BPF loading

From: Wang Nan
Date: Thu Jul 09 2015 - 08:44:06 EST


This patch suppress message output by add_perf_probe_events() and
del_perf_probe_events() if they are triggered by BPF loading. Before
this patch, when using 'perf record' with BPF object/source as event
selector, following message will be output:

Added new event:
perf_bpf_probe:lock_page_ret (on __lock_page%return)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e perf_bpf_probe:lock_page_ret -aR sleep 1
...
Removed event: perf_bpf_probe:lock_page_ret

Which is misleading, especially 'use it in all perf tools' because they
will be removed after 'pref record' exit.

In this patch, a 'silent' field is appended into probe_conf to control
output. bpf__{,un}probe() set it to true when calling
{add,del}_perf_probe_events().
