Currently when create a specific group of trace events,
take kprobe event as example, user must use the following format:
p:GRP/EVENT [MOD:]KSYM[+OFFS]|KADDR [FETCHARGS],
which means user must enter EVENT name, one example is: echo
'p:usb_gadget/config_usb_cfg_link config_usb_cfg_link $arg1' >>
kprobe_events, it is not simple if there are too many entries
because the event name is same as symbol name.

This change allows user to specify no EVENT name, format changed as:
p:GRP/ [MOD:]KSYM[+OFFS]|KADDR [FETCHARGS],
it will generate event name automatically and one example is:
echo 'p:usb_gadget/ config_usb_cfg_link $arg1' >> kprobe_events.

v2: fix review comments in V1:
change TP_ENAME_EMPTTY to TP_ENAME_EMPTY,
Thanks for update! And I think this return code is a bit redundant
because those cases can be rephrased as follows;

TP_ENAME_GROUP_EVENT : event != NULL && group != (default)
TP_ENAME_GROUP : event == NULL && group != (default)
TP_ENAME_EVENT : event != NULL && group == (default)
TP_ENAME_EMPTY : event == NULL && group == (default)

What about this (e.g. trace_kprobe.c)?

if (event) {
/* event and group will be updated in this function */
ret = traceprobe_parse_event_name(&event, &group, gbuf,
event - argv[0]);
if (ret)
goto parse_error;
}

if (!event) {
/* Make a new event name */
if (symbol)
snprintf(buf, MAX_EVENT_NAME_LEN, "%c_%s_%ld",
is_return ? 'r' : 'p', symbol, offset);
else
snprintf(buf, MAX_EVENT_NAME_LEN, "%c_0x%p",
is_return ? 'r' : 'p', addr);
sanitize_event_name(buf);
event = buf;
}

This makes the code clearer.
good idea, will follow it.

add some space,
document the macros return by traceprobe_parse_event_name(),
updatea commit description.

Could you also update 'readme_msg' in kernel/trace/trace.c in this patch?
e.g.

#if defined(CONFIG_KPROBE_EVENTS) || defined(CONFIG_UPROBE_EVENTS)
"\t accepts: event-definitions (one definition per line)\n"
"\t Format: p[:[<group>/][<event>]] <place> [<args>]\n"
"\t r[maxactive][:[<group>/][<event>]] <place> [<args>]\n"
#ifdef CONFIG_HIST_TRIGGERS
"\t s:[synthetic/]<event> <field> [<field>]\n"
#endif
"\t e[:[<group>/][<event>]] <attached-group>.<attached-event> [<args>]\n"
"\t -:[<group>/]<event>\n"
sure.

And also, could you add *another patch* to update below testcases about
dynevent to ensure this feature is working?

tools/testing/selftests/ftrace/test.d/dynevent/add_remove_kprobe.tc
and tools/testing/selftests/ftrace/test.d/dynevent/add_remove_eprobe.tc

e.g.

if grep -q '\[<event>\]' README then
(add your test...)
fi
thanks, will do it.


Thank you,
