tracing: Provide trace events interface for uprobes

Implements trace_event support for uprobes. In its current form
it can be used to put probes at a specified offset in a file and
dump the required registers when the code flow reaches the
probed address.

The following example shows how to dump the instruction pointer
and %ax a register at the probed text address.  Here we are
trying to probe zfree in /bin/zsh:

 # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/
 # cat /proc/`pgrep  zsh`/maps | grep /bin/zsh | grep r-xp
 00400000-0048a000 r-xp 00000000 08:03 130904 /bin/zsh
 # objdump -T /bin/zsh | grep -w zfree
 0000000000446420 g    DF .text  0000000000000012  Base
 zfree # echo 'p /bin/zsh:0x46420 %ip %ax' > uprobe_events
 # cat uprobe_events
 p:uprobes/p_zsh_0x46420 /bin/zsh:0x0000000000046420
 # echo 1 > events/uprobes/enable
 # sleep 20
 # echo 0 > events/uprobes/enable
 # cat trace
 # tracer: nop

+		Uprobe-tracer: Uprobe-based Event Tracing
+		=========================================
+                 Documentation written by Srikar Dronamraju
+
+Overview
+--------
+Uprobe based trace events are similar to kprobe based trace events.
+To enable this feature, build your kernel with CONFIG_UPROBE_EVENTS=y.
+
+Similar to the kprobe-event tracer, this doesn't need to be activated via
+current_tracer. Instead of that, add probe points via
+/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events, and enable it via
+/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/uprobes/<EVENT>/enabled.
+
+However unlike kprobe-event tracer, the uprobe event interface expects the
+user to calculate the offset of the probepoint in the object
+
+Synopsis of uprobe_tracer
+-------------------------
+  p[:[GRP/]EVENT] PATH:SYMBOL[+offs] [FETCHARGS]	: Set a probe
+
+ GRP		: Group name. If omitted, use "uprobes" for it.
+ EVENT		: Event name. If omitted, the event name is generated
+		  based on SYMBOL+offs.
+ PATH		: path to an executable or a library.
+ SYMBOL[+offs]	: Symbol+offset where the probe is inserted.
+
+ FETCHARGS	: Arguments. Each probe can have up to 128 args.
+  %REG		: Fetch register REG
+
+Event Profiling
+---------------
+ You can check the total number of probe hits and probe miss-hits via
+/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_profile.
+ The first column is event name, the second is the number of probe hits,
+the third is the number of probe miss-hits.
+
+Usage examples
+--------------
+To add a probe as a new event, write a new definition to uprobe_events
+as below.
+
+  echo 'p: /bin/bash:0x4245c0' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events
+
+ This sets a uprobe at an offset of 0x4245c0 in the executable /bin/bash
+
+  echo > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events
+
+ This clears all probe points.
+
+The following example shows how to dump the instruction pointer and %ax
+a register at the probed text address.  Here we are trying to probe
+function zfree in /bin/zsh
+
+    # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/
+    # cat /proc/`pgrep  zsh`/maps | grep /bin/zsh | grep r-xp
+    00400000-0048a000 r-xp 00000000 08:03 130904 /bin/zsh
+    # objdump -T /bin/zsh | grep -w zfree
+    0000000000446420 g    DF .text  0000000000000012  Base        zfree
+
+0x46420 is the offset of zfree in object /bin/zsh that is loaded at
+0x00400000. Hence the command to probe would be :
+
+    # echo 'p /bin/zsh:0x46420 %ip %ax' > uprobe_events
+
+Please note: User has to explicitly calculate the offset of the probepoint
+in the object. We can see the events that are registered by looking at the
+uprobe_events file.
+
+    # cat uprobe_events
+    p:uprobes/p_zsh_0x46420 /bin/zsh:0x0000000000046420
+
+Right after definition, each event is disabled by default. For tracing these
+events, you need to enable it by:
+
+    # echo 1 > events/uprobes/enable
+
+Lets disable the event after sleeping for some time.
+    # sleep 20
+    # echo 0 > events/uprobes/enable
+
+And you can see the traced information via /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace.
+
+    # cat trace
+    # tracer: nop
