[PATCH v4 7/7] tracing: probes: Add a kerneldoc for traceprobe_parse_event_name()

[Masami Hiramatsu (Google)]

From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@xxxxxxxxxx>

Since traceprobe_parse_event_name() is a bit complicated, add a
kerneldoc for explaining the behavior.

Suggested-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>

 Changes in v4:
  - Move longer parameter description into Return section.
  - Rewrite the style according to
    Documentation/doc-guide/kernel-doc.rst

+ * traceprobe_parse_event_name() - Parse a string into group and event names
+ * @pevent: A pointer to the string to be parsed.
+ * @pgroup: A pointer to the group name.
+ * @buf:    A buffer to store the parsed group name.
+ * @offset: The offset of the string in the original user command, for logging.
+ *
+ * This parses a string with the format `[GROUP/][EVENT]` or `[GROUP.][EVENT]`
+ * (either GROUP or EVENT or both must be specified).
+ * Since the parsed group name is stored in @buf, the caller must ensure @buf
+ * is at least MAX_EVENT_NAME_LEN bytes.
+ *
+ * Return: 0 on success, or -EINVAL on failure.
+ *
+ * If success, *@pevent is updated to point to the event name part of the
+ * original string, or NULL if there is no event name.
+ * Also, *@pgroup is updated to point to the parsed group which is stored
+ * in @buf, or NULL if there is no group name.
