From 95c104c378dc7d4cb3fb9f289dc5354bfc285fe0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linyu Yuan Date: Mon, 27 Jun 2022 10:19:07 +0800 Subject: tracing: Auto generate event name when creating a group of events Currently when creating a specific group of trace events, take kprobe event as example, the user must use the following format: p:GRP/EVENT [MOD:]KSYM[+OFFS]|KADDR [FETCHARGS], which means user must enter EVENT name, one example is: echo 'p:usb_gadget/config_usb_cfg_link config_usb_cfg_link $arg1' >> kprobe_events It is not simple if there are too many entries because the event name is the same as symbol name. This change allows user to specify no EVENT name, format changed as: p:GRP/ [MOD:]KSYM[+OFFS]|KADDR [FETCHARGS] It will generate event name automatically and one example is: echo 'p:usb_gadget/ config_usb_cfg_link $arg1' >> kprobe_events.
