Masami Hiramatsu 2a9c8c3609 perf probe: Add lazy line matching support
Add lazy line matching support for specifying new probes.
This also changes the syntax of perf probe a bit. Now
perf probe accepts one of below probe event definitions.

1) Define event based on function name
 [EVENT=]FUNC[@SRC][:RLN|+OFF|%return|;PTN] [ARG ...]

2) Define event based on source file with line number
 [EVENT=]SRC:ALN [ARG ...]

3) Define event based on source file with lazy pattern
 [EVENT=]SRC;PTN [ARG ...]

- New lazy matching pattern(PTN) follows ';' (semicolon). And it
  must be put the end of the definition.
- So, @SRC is no longer the part which must be put at the end
  of the definition.

Note that ';' (semicolon) can be interpreted as the end of
a command by the shell. This means that you need to quote it.
(anyway you will need to quote the lazy pattern itself too,
because it may contains other sensitive characters, like
'[',']' etc.).

Lazy matching
-------------
The lazy line matching is similar to glob matching except
ignoring spaces in both of pattern and target.

e.g.
'a=*' can matches 'a=b', 'a = b', 'a == b' and so on.

This provides some sort of flexibility and robustness to
probe point definitions against minor code changes.
(for example, actual 10th line of schedule() can be changed
 easily by modifying schedule(), but the same line matching
 'rq=cpu_rq*' may still exist.)

Changes in v3:
 - Cast Dwarf_Addr to uintmax_t for printf-formats.

Changes in v2:
 - Cast Dwarf_Addr to unsigned long long for printf-formats.

Masami Hiramatsu 631c9def80 perf probe: Support --line option to show probable source-code lines
Add --line option to support showing probable source-code lines.

  perf probe --line SRC:LN[-LN|+NUM]
   or
  perf probe --line FUNC[:LN[-LN|+NUM]]

This option shows source-code with line number if the line can
be probed. Lines without line number (and blue color) means that
the line can not be probed, because debuginfo doesn't have the
information of those lines.

The argument specifies the range of lines, "source.c:100-120"
shows lines between 100th to l20th in source.c file. And
"func:10+20" shows 20 lines from 10th line of func function.

e.g.
 # ./perf probe --line kernel/sched.c:1080
 <kernel/sched.c:1080>
          *
          * called with rq->lock held and irqs disabled
          */
         static void hrtick_start(struct rq *rq, u64 delay)
         {
                struct hrtimer *timer = &rq->hrtick_timer;
   1086         ktime_t time = ktime_add_ns(timer->base->get_time(), delay);

                hrtimer_set_expires(timer, time);

   1090         if (rq == this_rq()) {
   1091                 hrtimer_restart(timer);
   1092         } else if (!rq->hrtick_csd_pending) {
   1093                 __smp_call_function_single(cpu_of(rq), &rq->hrtick_csd,
   1094                 rq->hrtick_csd_pending = 1;

If you specifying function name, this shows function-relative
line number.

 # ./perf probe --line schedule
 <schedule:0>
         asmlinkage void __sched schedule(void)
      1  {
                struct task_struct *prev, *next;
                unsigned long *switch_count;
                struct rq *rq;
                int cpu;

         need_resched:
                preempt_disable();
      9         cpu = smp_processor_id();
     10         rq = cpu_rq(cpu);
     11         rcu_sched_qs(cpu);
     12         prev = rq->curr;
     13         switch_count = &prev->nivcsw;

Masami Hiramatsu af663d75a6 perf probe: Support event name for --add option
Support event name syntax for --add option. This allows
users to specify event name for each new event.

The --add syntax is:
 perf probe --add '[EVENT=]SRC:LINE ARGS'
or
 perf probe --add '[EVENT=]FUNC[+OFFS|%return|:RLN][@SRC] ARGS'

e.g.

 ./perf probe --add myprobe1=schedule

Note: currently group name is not supported yet, because it
can cause name-space confliction with other tracepoint/
hw-breakpoint events.
