perf probe: Accept %sdt and %cached event name
To improve usability, support %[PROVIDER:]SDTEVENT format to add new
probes on SDT and cached events.
e.g.
----
# perf probe -x /lib/libc-2.17.so %lll_lock_wait_private
Added new event:
sdt_libc:lll_lock_wait_private (on %lll_lock_wait_private in /usr/lib/libc-2.17.so)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e sdt_libc:lll_lock_wait_private -aR sleep 1
# perf probe -l | more
sdt_libc:lll_lock_wait_private (on __lll_lock_wait_private+21 in /usr/lib/libc-2.17.so)
----
Note that this is not only for SDT events, but also normal
events with event-name.
e.g. define "myevent" on cache (-n doesn't add the real probe)
----
# perf probe -x ./perf --cache -n --add 'myevent=dso__load $params'
----
Reuse the "myevent" from cache as below.
----
# perf probe -x ./perf %myevent
