tracing/kprobes: Support module init function probing
To support probing module init functions, kprobe-tracer allows user to define a probe on non-existed function when it is given with a module name. This also enables user to set a probe on a function on a specific module, even if a same name (but different) function is locally defined in another module. The module name must be in the front of function name and separated by a ':'. e.g. btrfs:btrfs_init_sysfs Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@hitachi.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20110627072656.6528.89970.stgit@fedora15 Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

GRP : Group name. If omitted, use "kprobes" for it.
|

EVENT : Event name. If omitted, the event name is generated

MOD : Module name which has given SYM.
