[for-next][PATCH 08/16] perf-probe: Add user memory access attribute support

[Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>]

From: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org>

Add user memory access attribute for kprobe event arguments.
If a given 'local variable' is in user-space, User can
specify memory access method by '@user' suffix. This is
not only for string but also for data structure.

If we access a field of data structure in user memory from
kernel on some arch, it will fail. e.g.

 perf probe -a "sched_setscheduler param->sched_priority"

This will fail to access the "param->sched_priority" because
the param is __user pointer. Instead, we can now specify
@user suffix for such argument.

 perf probe -a "sched_setscheduler param->sched_priority@user"

Note that kernel memory access with "@user" must always fail
on any arch.

 --------------
 Each probe argument follows below syntax.
 
- [NAME=]LOCALVAR|$retval|%REG|@SYMBOL[:TYPE]
+ [NAME=]LOCALVAR|$retval|%REG|@SYMBOL[:TYPE][@user]
 
 'NAME' specifies the name of this argument (optional). You can use the name of local variable, local data structure member (e.g. var->field, var.field2), local array with fixed index (e.g. array[1], var->array[0], var->pointer[2]), or kprobe-tracer argument format (e.g. $retval, %ax, etc). Note that the name of this argument will be set as the last member name if you specify a local data structure member (e.g. field2 for 'var->field1.field2'.)
 '$vars' and '$params' special arguments are also available for NAME, '$vars' is expanded to the local variables (including function parameters) which can access at given probe point. '$params' is expanded to only the function parameters.
 'TYPE' casts the type of this argument (optional). If omitted, perf probe automatically set the type based on debuginfo (*). Currently, basic types (u8/u16/u32/u64/s8/s16/s32/s64), hexadecimal integers (x/x8/x16/x32/x64), signedness casting (u/s), "string" and bitfield are supported. (see TYPES for detail)
 On x86 systems %REG is always the short form of the register: for example %AX. %RAX or %EAX is not valid.
+"@user" is a special attribute which means the LOCALVAR will be treated as a user-space memory. This is only valid for kprobe event.
