perf probe: Support glob wildcards for function name
Support glob wildcards for function name when adding new probes. This will allow us to build caches of function-entry level information with $params. e.g. ---- # perf probe --no-inlines --add 'kmalloc* $params' Added new events: probe:kmalloc_slab (on kmalloc* with $params) probe:kmalloc_large_node (on kmalloc* with $params) probe:kmalloc_order_trace (on kmalloc* with $params) You can now use it in all perf tools, such as: perf record -e probe:kmalloc_order_trace -aR sleep 1 # perf probe --list probe:kmalloc_large_node (on kmalloc_large_node@mm/slub.c with size flags node) probe:kmalloc_order_trace (on kmalloc_order_trace@mm/slub.c with size flags order) probe:kmalloc_slab (on kmalloc_slab@mm/slab_common.c with size flags) ---- Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@hitachi.com> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli <ananth@in.ibm.com> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Hemant Kumar <hemant@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20150508010335.24812.19972.stgit@localhost.localdomainSigned-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
