Commit Message

Wang Nan Nov. 16, 2015, 12:10 p.m. UTC 
By extending the syntax of BPF object section names, this patch allows
user to attach BPF programs to symbol in modules. For example:

 SEC("module=i915\n"
     "parse_cmds=i915_parse_cmds")
 int parse_cmds(void *ctx)
 {
     return 1;
 }

Implementation is very simple: like what 'perf probe' does, for module,
fill 'uprobe' field in 'struct perf_probe_event'. Other parts would be
done automatically.
