[PATCH 05/27] perf record, bpf: Parse and create probe points for BPF programs

From: Wang Nan
Date: Sun Sep 06 2015 - 03:16:06 EST


This patch introduces bpf__{un,}probe() functions to enable callers to
create kprobe points based on section names of BPF programs. It parses
the section names of each eBPF program and creates corresponding 'struct
perf_probe_event' structures. The parse_perf_probe_command() function is
used to do the main parsing work.

Parsing result is stored into an array to satisify
{convert,apply}_perf_probe_events(). It accepts an array of
'struct perf_probe_event' and do all the work in one call.

Define PERF_BPF_PROBE_GROUP as "perf_bpf_probe", which will be used as
the group name of all eBPF probing points.

probe_conf.max_probes is set to MAX_PROBES to support glob matching.

Before ending of bpf__probe(), data in each 'struct perf_probe_event' is
cleaned. Things will be changed by following patches because they need
'struct probe_trace_event' in them,
