tracing: Provide trace events interface for uprobes
Implements trace_event support for uprobes. In its current form
it can be used to put probes at a specified offset in a file and
dump the required registers when the code flow reaches the
probed address.
The following example shows how to dump the instruction pointer
and %ax a register at the probed text address. Here we are
trying to probe zfree in /bin/zsh:
# cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/
# cat /proc/`pgrep zsh`/maps | grep /bin/zsh | grep r-xp
00400000-0048a000 r-xp 00000000 08:03 130904 /bin/zsh
# objdump -T /bin/zsh | grep -w zfree
0000000000446420 g DF .text 0000000000000012 Base
zfree # echo 'p /bin/zsh:0x46420 %ip %ax' > uprobe_events
# cat uprobe_events
p:uprobes/p_zsh_0x46420 /bin/zsh:0x0000000000046420
# echo 1 > events/uprobes/enable
# sleep 20
# echo 0 > events/uprobes/enable
# cat trace
# tracer: nop
#
# TASK-PID CPU# TIMESTAMP FUNCTION
