Add -c CMD option
This patch adds a command running option to bpftrace. The user can now run something like: ./bpftrace -e '...' -c 'sleep 5' which is a convenience wrapper around something like: sleep 5 & ./bpfrace -e '...' -p `pidof sleep` `-c` is better because it: * ensures a tighter tracing range around CMD (ie we trace less of the system while it is not running CMD) * makes bpftrace exit (which is convenient) when CMD terminates * previously, it was not possible to get a full trace of CMDs execution and have bpftrace exit upon CMD termination Test Plan: Trivial successful example: ``` $ sudo ./build/src/bpftrace -e 'tracepoint:syscalls:sys_enter_nanosleep { printf("%s nanoslept\n", comm); }' -c '/bin/sleep 1' [sudo] password for dlxu: chdir(/lib/modules/4.19.8-200.fc28.x86_64/build): No such file or directory Attaching 1 probe... sleep nanoslept splunkd nanoslept webrtc_audio_mo nanoslept gnome-terminal- nanoslept webrtc_audio_mo nanoslept gnome-terminal- nanoslept gnome-terminal- nanoslept gnome-terminal- nanoslept gnome-terminal- nanoslept gnome-terminal- nanoslept gnome-terminal- nanoslept gnome-terminal- nanoslept gnome-terminal- nanoslept gnome-terminal- nanoslept gnome-terminal- nanoslept $ ``` Ambigous executable: ``` $ sudo ./build/src/bpftrace -e 'tracepoint:syscalls:sys_enter_nanosleep { printf("%s nanoslept\n", comm); }' -c 'sleep 1' chdir(/lib/modules/4.19.8-200.fc28.x86_64/build): No such file or directory Attaching 1 probe... execve: No such file or directory Failed to spawn child=sleep 1 splunkd nanoslept $ ``` This closes #253
