Subject: [PATCH 0/3] libtracefs: Facilitate adding and removing kprobes
Date: Tue, 29 Jun 2021 16:53:23 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210629205326.117059-1-rostedt@goodmis.org> (raw)

Add a tracefs_kprobe_raw() to facilitate adding kprobe events. It's
denoted as "raw" because it still requires knowing the complex format of
a kprobe, but at least it helps with other formats:

 p:[[system/]event] addr fmt

The user only needs to know the "fmt" part above, and not worry about
what file to open, or how to open it.

Also add a tracefs_kprobe_clear() to clear all kprobes and a
tracefs_kprobe_clear_probe() to clear an individual kprobe. Both have a
"force" parameter, that if set, will then try to disable the kprobe in
all instances (including the top) and then remove the kprobe(s).

(Man pages coming after this).
