Namhyung Kim b7e0bf341f tracing/uprobes: Add @+file_offset fetch method
Enable to fetch data from a file offset.  Currently it only supports
fetching from same binary uprobe set.  It'll translate the file offset
to a proper virtual address in the process.

The syntax is "@+OFFSET" as it does similar to normal memory fetching
(@ADDR) which does no address translation.

Namhyung Kim b079d374fd tracing/uprobes: Add support for full argument access methods
Enable to fetch other types of argument for the uprobes.  IOW, we can
access stack, memory, deref, bitfield and retval from uprobes now.

The format for the argument types are same as kprobes (but @SYMBOL
type is not supported for uprobes), i.e:

  @ADDR   : Fetch memory at ADDR
  $stackN : Fetch Nth entry of stack (N >= 0)
  $stack  : Fetch stack address
  $retval : Fetch return value
  +|-offs(FETCHARG) : Fetch memory at FETCHARG +|- offs address

Note that the retval only can be used with uretprobes.

The uprobe syntax requires an offset after a file path not a symbol.

Srikar Dronamraju ec83db0f78 tracing: Fix kconfig warning due to a typo
Commit f3f096cfe ("tracing: Provide trace events interface for
uprobes") throws a warning about unmet dependencies.

The exact warning message is:
	warning: (UPROBE_EVENT) selects UPROBES which has unmet direct dependencies (UPROBE_EVENTS && PERF_EVENTS)

This is due to a typo in arch/Kconfig file. Fix similar typos in
the uprobetracer documentation.

Also add sample format of a uprobe event in the uprobetracer
documentation as suggested by Masami Hiramatsu.

Srikar Dronamraju f3f096cfed 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
 #
 #           TASK-PID    CPU#    TIMESTAMP  FUNCTION
