perf probe: Support argument name
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Set given names to event arguments. The syntax is same as kprobe-tracer,
you can add 'NAME=' right before each argument.

e.g.
  ./perf probe vfs_read foo=file

 then, 'foo' is set to the argument name as below.

  ./perf probe -l
  probe:vfs_read       (on vfs_read@linux-2.6-tip/fs/read_write.c with foo)

'EVENT' specifies the name of new event, if omitted, it will be set the name of the probed function. Currently, event group name is set as 'probe'.
'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. You can use the name of local variable, or kprobe-tracer argument format (e.g. $retval, %ax, etc).
'ARG' specifies the arguments of this probe point, (see PROBE ARGUMENT).

PROBE ARGUMENT
--------------
Each probe argument follows below syntax.

[NAME=]LOCALVAR|$retval|%REG|@SYMBOL

'NAME' specifies the name of this argument (optional). You can use the name of local variable, local data structure member (e.g. var->field, var.field2), or kprobe-tracer argument format (e.g. $retval, %ax, etc).
