[PATCH v4 2/3] tracing: auto generate event name when create a group of events

From: Linyu Yuan
Date: Thu Jun 02 2022 - 08:11:22 EST


Currently when create a specific group of trace events,
take kprobe event as example, user must use the following format:
p:GRP/EVENT [MOD:]KSYM[+OFFS]|KADDR [FETCHARGS],
which means user must enter EVENT name, one example is: echo
'p:usb_gadget/config_usb_cfg_link config_usb_cfg_link $arg1' >>
kprobe_events, it is not simple if there are too many entries
because the event name is same as symbol name.

This change allows user to specify no EVENT name, format changed as:
p:GRP/ [MOD:]KSYM[+OFFS]|KADDR [FETCHARGS],
it will generate event name automatically and one example is:
echo 'p:usb_gadget/ config_usb_cfg_link $arg1' >> kprobe_events.

v2: fix review comments in V1:
change TP_ENAME_EMPTTY to TP_ENAME_EMPTY,
add some space,
document the macros return by traceprobe_parse_event_name(),
updatea commit description.
v3: remove TP_ENAME_* macro which suggest by Masami Hiramatsu,
allow generate event name from SYSTEM/EVENT for eprobe.
v4: no change
