OK, so you also want to add multi-probes on single event by
single perf-event syscall. Not defining different events.

Those are bit different, multi-probes on single event can
invoke single event handler from different probe points. For
exapmple same user bpf handler will be invoked from different
address.

Hmm, here I have a concern (maybe no real issue is caused at this momemnt.)
Since ftrace's multi-probe event has same event/group name among the
probes's internal event-calls. However, create_local_trace_kprobe()
actually uses the "func" name for the event name.
I think you should choose a randome different "representative" event name
for the event (not probe), and share it among the probes on the event,
if the perf event has no event name.

(I'm not sure how the event names are used from inside of the BPF programs,
but just for the consistency.)

isn't this "p_event->attr.probe_cnt > 1" ?

Why is this needed?

So, this will choose the first(primary) probe's function name as
the representative event name. But other probes can have different
event names.

If "appended" probe failed to register, it must be "unlinked" from
the first one and goto error to free the trace_kprobe.

if (ret) {
trace_probe_unlink(&tk->tp);
goto error;
}

See append_trace_kprobe() for details.

Actually, each probe already allocated the trace_probe events (which are not
used if it is appended). Thus you have to use trace_probe_unlink(&tk->tp) in
the above loop.

list_for_each_entry_safe(pos, tmp, &event->probes, list) {
list_for_each_entry_safe(pos, tmp, &event->probes, list) {
__unregister_trace_kprobe(tk);
trace_probe_unlink(&tk->tp); /* This will call trace_probe_event_free() internally */
free_trace_kprobe(tk);
}

Thank you,
