[PATCH v5 0/3] tracing/probes: allow no event name input when create group

[PATCH v5 0/3] tracing/probes: allow no event name input when create group

[Linyu Yuan]

take kprobe event as example, when create a group of events,
p[:[GRP/]EVENT] [MOD:]KSYM[+OFFS]|KADDR [FETCHARGS],
according to this format, we must input EVENT name,

this change allow only GRP/ input, EVENT name auto generate from KSYM,
p[:[GRP/][EVENT]] [MOD:]KSYM[+OFFS]|KADDR [FETCHARGS]

siliar change apply to eprobe and uprobe.

V1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/1651397651-30454-1-git-send-email-quic_linyyuan@quicinc.com/

V2: fix remove comment in V1 patch1,
    remove v1 patch2 as it is NACK.

v3: (v2 link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/1653795294-19764-1-git-send-email-quic_linyyuan@quicinc.com/)
    add selftest cases for kprobe and eprobe event,
    remove macro used in v1,v2,
    change location to generate eprobe event name.

v4: (v3 link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/1653978552-18637-1-git-send-email-quic_linyyuan@quicinc.com/)
    fix comment of kprobe/eprobe test case.

v5: (v4: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/1654171861-24014-1-git-send-email-quic_linyyuan@quicinc.com/)
    for eprobe, when only input a "SYSTEM.", it is invalid.

[PATCH v5 1/3] tracing: eprobe: remove duplicate is_good_name() operation

there is no need to call is_good_name() after it.

[PATCH v5 2/3] tracing: auto generate event name when create a group of events

[Linyu Yuan]

Currently when create a specific group of trace events,
take kprobe event as example, user must use the following format:
p:GRP/EVENT [MOD:]KSYM[+OFFS]|KADDR [FETCHARGS],
which means user must enter EVENT name, one example is: echo
'p:usb_gadget/config_usb_cfg_link config_usb_cfg_link $arg1' >>
kprobe_events, it is not simple if there are too many entries
because the event name is same as symbol name.

This change allows user to specify no EVENT name, format changed as:
p:GRP/ [MOD:]KSYM[+OFFS]|KADDR [FETCHARGS],
it will generate event name automatically and one example is:
echo 'p:usb_gadget/ config_usb_cfg_link $arg1' >> kprobe_events.

v2: fix review comments in V1:
    change TP_ENAME_EMPTTY to TP_ENAME_EMPTY,
    add some space,
    document the macros return by traceprobe_parse_event_name(),
    updatea commit description.
v3: remove TP_ENAME_* macro which suggest by Masami Hiramatsu,
    allow generate event name from SYSTEM/EVENT for eprobe.
v4: no change
v5: when eprobe input "SYSTEM." is invalid,
    add Acked-by tag

i reply his mail in V4 
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/d14f0409-351f-873e-b7ca-82ff444bf809@quicinc.com/,

form my view, i think it is safe, in !event case Tom mentioned, we will 
generate event from SYSTEM.EVENT

which is verified by traceprobe_parse_event_name().


Tom, could you review it again ?
