Naveen N. Rao 7ab31d94bf perf kretprobes: Offset from reloc_sym if kernel supports it
We indicate support for accepting sym+offset with kretprobes through a
line in ftrace README. Parse the same to identify support and choose the
appropriate format for kprobe_events.

As an example, without this perf patch, but with the ftrace changes:

  naveen@ubuntu:~/linux/tools/perf$ sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/README | grep kretprobe
  place (kretprobe): [<module>:]<symbol>[+<offset>]|<memaddr>
  naveen@ubuntu:~/linux/tools/perf$
  naveen@ubuntu:~/linux/tools/perf$ sudo ./perf probe -v do_open%return
  probe-definition(0): do_open%return
  symbol:do_open file:(null) line:0 offset:0 return:1 lazy:(null)
  0 arguments
  Looking at the vmlinux_path (8 entries long)
  Using /boot/vmlinux for symbols
  Open Debuginfo file: /boot/vmlinux
  Try to find probe point from debuginfo.
  Matched function: do_open [2d0c7d8]
  Probe point found: do_open+0
  Matched function: do_open [35d76b5]
  found inline addr: 0xc0000000004ba984
  Failed to find "do_open%return",
   because do_open is an inlined function and has no return point.
  An error occurred in debuginfo analysis (-22).
  Trying to use symbols.
  Opening /sys/kernel/debug/tracing//kprobe_events write=1
  Writing event: r:probe/do_open do_open+0
  Writing event: r:probe/do_open_1 do_open+0
  Added new events:
    probe:do_open        (on do_open%return)
    probe:do_open_1      (on do_open%return)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

	  perf record -e probe:do_open_1 -aR sleep 1

  naveen@ubuntu:~/linux/tools/perf$ sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/kprobes/list
  c000000000041370  k  kretprobe_trampoline+0x0    [OPTIMIZED]

  c0000000004433d0  r  do_open+0x0    [DISABLED]

And after this patch (and the subsequent powerpc patch):

  naveen@ubuntu:~/linux/tools/perf$ sudo ./perf probe -v do_open%return
  probe-definition(0): do_open%return
  symbol:do_open file:(null) line:0 offset:0 return:1 lazy:(null)
