[PATCH perf/core v11 14/23] perf probe: Accept %sdt and %cached event name

[Masami Hiramatsu]

From: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@xxxxxxxxxxx>

To improbe usability, support %[PROVIDER:]SDTEVENT format to
add new probes on SDT and cached events.

e.g.
  ----
  # perf probe -x /lib/libc-2.17.so  %lll_lock_wait_private
  Added new event:
    sdt_libc:lll_lock_wait_private (on %lll_lock_wait_private in
  /usr/lib/libc-2.17.so)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

          perf record -e sdt_libc:lll_lock_wait_private -aR sleep 1

  # perf probe -l | more
    sdt_libc:lll_lock_wait_private (on __lll_lock_wait_private+21
   in /usr/lib/libc-2.17.so)
  ----

Note that this is not only for SDT events, but also normal
events with event-name.

e.g. define "myevent" on cache (-n doesn't add the real probe)
  ----
  # perf probe -x ./perf --cache -n --add 'myevent=dso__load $params'
  ----
  Reuse the "myevent" from cache as below.
  ----
  # perf probe -x ./perf %myevent
  ----

 Changes in v10:
  - Update Documentation/perf-probe.txt to add a link about SDT.
 Changes in v7:
  - Fix a bug to return an error if no SDT/cached events found in cache.

 'FUNC' specifies a probed function name, and it may have one of the following options; '+OFFS' is the offset from function entry address in bytes, ':RLN' is the relative-line number from function entry line, and '%return' means that it probes function return. And ';PTN' means lazy matching pattern (see LAZY MATCHING). Note that ';PTN' must be the end of the probe point definition.  In addition, '@SRC' specifies a source file which has that function.
 It is also possible to specify a probe point by the source line number or lazy matching by using 'SRC:ALN' or 'SRC;PTN' syntax, where 'SRC' is the source file path, ':ALN' is the line number and ';PTN' is the lazy matching pattern.
 'ARG' specifies the arguments of this probe point, (see PROBE ARGUMENT).

+Note that before using the SDT event, the target binary (on which SDT events are defined) must be scanned by linkperf:perf-buildid-cache[1] to make SDT events as cached events.
