[RFC PATCH v9 49/50] perf probe: Init symbol as kprobe if any event is kprobe

From: Wang Nan
Date: Fri Jun 26 2015 - 10:17:33 EST


Before this patch, add_perf_probe_events() init symbol maps only for
uprobe if the first 'struct perf_probe_event' passed to it is a uprobe
event. However, with the incoming BPF uprobe support, now it will be
possible to pass an array with combined kprobe and uprobe events to
add_perf_probe_events(). Check the first one only is not enough.

This patch check all events in addition to the first one, and init
kernel symbol if any event is not uprobe.
