perf probe: Add sdt probes arguments into the uprobe cmd string
An sdt probe can be associated with arguments but they were not passed to the user probe tracing interface (uprobe_events); this patch adapts the sdt argument descriptors according to the uprobe input format. As the uprobe parser does not support scaled address mode, perf will skip arguments which cannot be adapted to the uprobe format. Here are the results: $ perf buildid-cache -v --add test_sdt $ perf probe -x test_sdt sdt_libfoo:table_frob $ perf probe -x test_sdt sdt_libfoo:table_diddle $ perf record -e sdt_libfoo:table_frob -e sdt_libfoo:table_diddle test_sdt $ perf script test_sdt ... 666.255678: sdt_libfoo:table_frob: (4004d7) arg0=0 arg1=0 test_sdt ... 666.255683: sdt_libfoo:table_diddle: (40051a) arg0=0 arg1=0 test_sdt ... 666.255686: sdt_libfoo:table_frob: (4004d7) arg0=1 arg1=2 test_sdt ... 666.255689: sdt_libfoo:table_diddle: (40051a) arg0=3 arg1=4 test_sdt ... 666.255692: sdt_libfoo:table_frob: (4004d7) arg0=2 arg1=4 test_sdt ... 666.255694: sdt_libfoo:table_diddle: (40051a) arg0=6 arg1=8 Signed-off-by: Alexis Berlemont <alexis.berlemont@gmail.com> Acked-by: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Hemant Kumar <hemant@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Ravi Bangoria <ravi.bangoria@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20161214000732.1710-3-alexis.berlemont@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
