perf probe: Support a special SDT probe format
Support a special SDT probe format which can omit the '%' prefix only if the SDT group name starts with "sdt_". So, for example both of "%sdt_libc:setjump" and "sdt_libc:setjump" are acceptable for perf probe --add. E.g. without this: # perf probe -a sdt_libc:setjmp Semantic error :There is non-digit char in line number. ... With this: # perf probe -a sdt_libc:setjmp Added new event: sdt_libc:setjmp (on %setjmp in /usr/lib64/libc-2.20.so) You can now use it in all perf tools, such as: perf record -e sdt_libc:setjmp -aR sleep 1 Suggested-by: Brendan Gregg <brendan.d.gregg@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org> 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/146831794674.17065.13359473252168740430.stgit@devbox Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
