      Simplify event naming as <symbol>_<seqnum>. Each event name is
      globally unique (group name is not checked). So, if there is
      schedule_0, next probe event on schedule() will be schedule_1.

      perf probe: Add --list option for listing current probe events · 4de189fe
      Masami Hiramatsu authored
      Add --list option for listing currently defined probe events
      in the kernel. This shows events in below format;
      
       [group:event]	<perf-probe probe-definition>
      
      for example:
      
       [probe:schedule_0]	schedule+30 cpu
      
      Note that source file/line information is not supported yet.
      So even if you added a probe by line, it will be shown in
      <symbol+offset>.

      perf trace: Add a scripts/perl/bin for perf trace shell scripts · 1ae4a971
      Tom Zanussi authored
      To capture the relevant events for a given Perl script and to
      avoid having to continually remember and type in long
      command-lines, add a scripts/perl/bin directory containing two
      simple shell scripts for each Perl script, one for recording and
      one for processing/display. For example, to record perf data for
      the rw-by-pid.pl script, run scripts/perl/bin/rw-by-pid-record
      and to actually run the script and display the output run
      scripts/perl/bin/rw-by-pid-report.

      perf trace: Add interface to access perf data from Perl handlers · d1b93772
      Tom Zanussi authored
      The Perl scripting support for perf trace allows most of a trace
      event's data to be accessed directly as handler arguments, but
      not all of it e.g. the less common fields aren't passed in.  To
      give scripts access to the other fields and/or any other data or
      metadata in the main perf executable that might be useful, a way
      to access the C data in perf from Perl is needed; this patch
      uses the Perl XS facility to do it for the common_xxx event
      fields not passed to handler functions.
      
      Context.pm exports three functions to Perl scripts that access
      fields for the current event by calling back into perf:
      common_pc(), common_flags() and common_lock_depth().  Support
      for common_flags() field values was added to Core.pm and a
      script used to sanity check these and other basic scripting
      features, check-perf-trace.pl, was also added.
