perf probe: Accept %sdt and %cached event name
To improve 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 ---- Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@hitachi.com> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli <ananth@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Brendan Gregg <brendan.d.gregg@gmail.com> Cc: Hemant Kumar <hemant@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/146831788372.17065.3645054540325909346.stgit@devbox Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
