[PATCH v20] tracing: Fix kconfig warning due to a typo

From: Srikar Dronamraju
Date: Tue May 08 2012 - 07:22:50 EST


From: Srikar Dronamraju <srikar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Commit f3f096cfe ("tracing: Provide trace events interface for
uprobes") throws a warning about unmet dependencies.

The exact warning message is:
warning: (UPROBE_EVENT) selects UPROBES which has unmet
direct dependencies (UPROBE_EVENTS && PERF_EVENTS)

This is due to a typo in arch/Kconfig file. Fix similar typos in
uprobetracer documentation.

Also add sample format of a uprobe event in the uprobetracer
documentation as suggested by Masami Hiramatsu.
