perf tools: Add support for breakpoint events in perf tools
Add the breakpoint events support with this new sysnopsis:
mem:addr[:access]
Where addr is a raw addr value in the kernel and access can be
either [r][w][x]
Example to profile tasklist_lock:
$ grep tasklist_lock /proc/kallsyms
ffffffff8189c000 D tasklist_lock
$ perf record -e mem:0xffffffff8189c000:rw -a -f -c 1
$ perf report
# Samples: 62
#
# Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol
# ........ ............... ............. ......
#
29.03% swapper [kernel] [k] _raw_read_trylock
29.03% swapper [kernel] [k] _raw_read_unlock
19.35% init [kernel] [k] _raw_read_trylock
19.35% init [kernel] [k] _raw_read_unlock
1.61% events/0 [kernel] [k] _raw_read_trylock
1.61% events/0 [kernel] [k] _raw_read_unlock
Coming soon:
- Support for symbols in the event definition.
- Default period to 1 for breakpoint events because these are
not high frequency events. The same thing is needed for trace
events.
