perf probe: Show trace event definition
Add --definition/-D option for showing the trace-event definition in stdout. This can be useful in debugging or combined with a shell script. e.g. ---- # perf probe --definition 'do_sys_open $params' p:probe/do_sys_open _text+2261728 dfd=%di:s32 filename=%si:u64 flags=%dx:s32 mode=%cx:u16 ---- Suggested-and-Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/147214226712.23638.2240534040014013658.stgit@devbox Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
