From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" <rostedt@goodmis.org>

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 still coming after this).

Changes since v1:
 - Added a tracefs_instances() to get the names of all instances
 - Rewrote the tracefs_kprobe_clear*() to use the tracefs_instances,
   which simplified the code tremendously.
 - Do not fail on failed: allocating various memory, disabling
   events, finding instances, etc, in the tracefs_kprobe_clear*()
   because it may still succeed, if the failed part were not what
   was causing it to not succeed.

Implement tracefs_instances() that will take a regex (or NULL for all) and
return a list of instances in the system.

Add a function to facilitate creating a kprobe event. It has the "raw" in
its name because it still requires knowing the format of the kprobe. But
does handle the kprobe naming better and writing to the kprobe_event file.

A call to tracefs_kprobe_clear() will attempt to disable all kprobes. If
any kprobe is set, and the @force parameter is set, it will fail with
errno set to EBUSY. If @force is set, then it will attempt to disable all
the defined kprobe events and then clear it.

Add the function tracefs_kprobe_clear_probe() that will remove a single
kprobe. If the @force parameter is set, it will disable that probe in all
instances (including the top level instance) before removing it.

I wonder what will be the way to register a "return value" ("r:") 
kprobe. Do you consider having a separate API for them?

Thanks!

Yes, I was thinking about having a "tracefs_kretprobe_raw()" as well.

I also thought of adding a flag in the parameter, but thought that a
separate function would be better instead.

I wanted to play with this interface before creating the retprobe one.
If you are happy with the current design, I can add that too.

The design looks good to me.
