[PATCH 06/13] perf tools: Allow BPF program config probing options

[Wang Nan]

By extending the syntax of BPF object section names, this patch allows
user to config probing options like what they can do in 'perf probe'.

Error message in perf probe is also updated.

Test result:

For following BPF file bpf.c:

 SEC("inlines=no\n"
     "func=SyS_dup?")
 int func(void *ctx)
 {
 	return 1;
 }

 Cmdline:

 # ./perf record  -e ./test_probe_glob.c ls /
 ...
 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
 [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.013 MB perf.data ]
 # ./perf evlist
 perf_bpf_probe:func_1
 perf_bpf_probe:func

After changing "inlines=no" to "inlines=yes":

Cmdline:

 # ./perf record  -e ./test_probe_glob.c ls /
 ...
 [ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ]
 [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.013 MB perf.data ]
 # ./perf evlist
 perf_bpf_probe:func_3
 perf_bpf_probe:func_2
 perf_bpf_probe:func_1
 perf_bpf_probe:func

Then test 'force':

use following program:

 SEC("func=sys_read")
 int funca(void *ctx)
 {
     return 1;
 }

 SEC("force=no\n"
     "func=sys_write")
 int funcb(void *ctx)
 {
     return 1;
 }

Error: event "func" already exists.
 Hint: Remove existing event by 'perf probe -d'
       or force duplicates by 'perf probe -f'
       or set 'force=yes' in BPF source.
event syntax error: './test_force.c'
                     \___ Probe point exist. Try 'perf probe -d "*"' and set 'force=yes'

(add -v to see detail)
...

Then replace 'force=no' to 'force=yes':

 # ./perf record  -e ./test_force.c ls /
 ...
 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
 [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.013 MB perf.data (4 samples) ]
 # ./perf evlist
 perf_bpf_probe:func_1
 perf_bpf_probe:func
