perf probe: Check kprobes blacklist when adding new events
Recent linux kernel provides a blacklist of the functions which can not be probed. perf probe can now check this blacklist before setting new events and indicate better error message for users. Without this patch, ---- # perf probe --add vmalloc_fault Added new event: Failed to write event: Invalid argument Error: Failed to add events. ---- With this patch ---- # perf probe --add vmalloc_fault Added new event: Warning: Skipped probing on blacklisted function: vmalloc_fault ---- Reported-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@kernel.org> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20150219143113.14434.5387.stgit@localhost.localdomain Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@hitachi.com> Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
