Allo glob wildcard for reusing cached/SDT events. E.g.
# perf probe -x /usr/lib64/libc-2.20.so -a %sdt_libc:\*
This example adds probes for all SDT in libc.
Note that the SDTs must have been scanned by perf buildid-cache.
Committer note:
Using it to check what of those SDT probes would take place when doing
a cargo run (rust):
# trace --no-sys --event sdt_libc:* cargo run
0.000 sdt_libc:setjmp:(7f326b69c4d1))
28.423 sdt_libc:setjmp:(7f4b0a5364d1))
29.000 sdt_libc:setjmp:(7f4b0a5364d1))

89.220 sdt_libc:setjmp:(7fc01fd414d1))

Make "perf probe --cache --list" show only available cached events by
checking build-id validity.
E.g. without this patch:
----
$ ./perf probe --cache --add oldevent=cmd_probe
$ make #(to update ./perf)
$ ./perf probe --cache --add newevent=cmd_probe
$ ./perf probe --cache --list
/home/mhiramat/ksrc/linux/tools/perf/perf (061e90539bac69
probe_perf:newevent=cmd_probe
/home/mhiramat/ksrc/linux/tools/perf/perf (c2e44d614e33e1
probe_perf:oldevent=cmd_probe
----
It shows both of old and new events but user can not use old one.
With this;
----
$ ./perf probe --cache -l
/home/mhiramat/ksrc/linux/tools/perf/perf (061e90539bac69
probe_perf:newevent=cmd_probe
----
This shows only new events which are on the existing binary.

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

The tools so far have been using the strerror_r() GNU variant, that
returns a string, be it the buffer passed or something else.
But that, besides being tricky in cases where we expect that the
function using strerror_r() returns the error formatted in a provided
buffer (we have to check if it returned something else and copy that
instead), breaks the build on systems not using glibc, like Alpine
Linux, where musl libc is used.
So, introduce yet another wrapper, str_error_r(), that has the GNU
interface, but uses the portable XSI variant of strerror_r(), so that
users rest asured that the provided buffer is used and it is what is
returned.

perf buildid-cache --add <binary> scans given binary and add
the SDT events to probe cache. "sdt_" prefix is appended for
all SDT providers to avoid event-name clash with other pre-defined
events. It is possible to use the cached SDT events as other cached
events, via perf probe --add "sdt_<provider>:<event>=<event>".
e.g.
----
# perf buildid-cache --add /lib/libc-2.17.so
# perf probe --cache --list | head -n 5
/usr/lib/libc-2.17.so (a6fb821bdf53660eb2c29f778757aef294d3d392):
sdt_libc:setjmp=setjmp
sdt_libc:longjmp=longjmp
sdt_libc:longjmp_target=longjmp_target
sdt_libc:memory_heap_new=memory_heap_new
# perf probe -x /usr/lib/libc-2.17.so \
-a sdt_libc:memory_heap_new=memory_heap_new
Added new event:
sdt_libc:memory_heap_new (on memory_heap_new
in /usr/lib/libc-2.17.so)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e sdt_libc:memory_heap_new -aR sleep 1
# perf probe -l
sdt_libc:memory_heap_new (on new_heap+183 in /usr/lib/libc-2.17.so)
----
Note that SDT event entries in probe-cache file is somewhat different
from normal cached events. Normal one starts with "#", but SDTs are
starting with "%".

'perf probe --del' removes caches when '--cache' is given. Note that
the delete pattern is not the same as for normal events.
If you cached probes with event name, --del "eventname" works as
expected. However, if you skipped it, the cached probes doesn't have
actual event name. In that case --del "probe-desc" is required (wildcard
is acceptable). For example a cache entry has the probe-desc "vfs_read
$params", you can remove it with --del 'vfs_read*'.
