[PATCH v7 0/4] tracing/probes: allow no event name input when create group

[PATCH v7 0/4] 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]

similar change apply to eprobe and uprobe.

[PATCH v7 3/4] 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
v6: remove is_good_name() check of group and event
    remove snprintf() and keep origial strscpy()
    remove two empty lines.

Thanks for making those changes!

With this patch set applied, this selftest fails:

  https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/tools/testing/selftests/ftrace/test.d/kprobe/kprobe_syntax_errors.tc

This exactly:

  echo 'p:foo/ vfs_read' > kprobe_events

no longer fails as the test expects it to.

I guess we need to remove that check as it now works and no longer fails as
"expected".

This change fixes it.

If it's OK with everyone, I'll apply this change.
