Since the libdwfl library before 0.148 fails to analyze live kernel debuginfo,
'perf probe --list' compiled with those old libdwfl sometimes crashes.
To avoid that bug, perf probe does not use libdwfl's live kernel analysis
routine when it is compiled with older libdwfl.
Side effect: perf with older libdwfl doesn't support listing probe in modules
with source code line. Those could be shown by symbol+offset.

Add basic module probe support on perf probe. This introduces "--module
<MODNAME>" option to perf probe for putting probes and showing lines and
variables in the given module.
Currently, this supports only probing on running modules. Supporting off-line
module probing is the next step.
e.g.)
[show lines]
# ./perf probe --module drm -L drm_vblank_info
<drm_vblank_info:0>
0 int drm_vblank_info(struct seq_file *m, void *data)
1 {
struct drm_info_node *node = (struct drm_info_node *) m->private
3 struct drm_device *dev = node->minor->dev;
...
[show vars]
# ./perf probe --module drm -V drm_vblank_info:3
Available variables at drm_vblank_info:3
@<drm_vblank_info+20>
(unknown_type) data
struct drm_info_node* node
struct seq_file* m
[put a probe]
# ./perf probe --module drm drm_vblank_info:3 node m
Add new event:
probe:drm_vblank_info (on drm_vblank_info:3 with node m)
You can now use it on all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:drm_vblank_info -aR sleep 1

# ./perf probe -l

perf probe outputs incorrect error message when it is called with
non-existent field on a non-data structure local variable.
<Before>
# perf probe vfs_read 'count.hoge'
Fatal: Structure on a register is not supported yet.
# perf probe vfs_read 'count->hoge'
Fatal: Semantic error: hoge must be referred by '.'
This corrects the messsage.
<After>
# perf probe vfs_read 'count.hoge'
Fatal: count is not a data structure.
# perf probe vfs_read 'count->hoge'
Fatal: count is not a data structure.

Support accessing members in the data structures. With this,
perf-probe accepts data-structure members(IOW, it now accepts
dot '.' and arrow '->' operators) as probe arguemnts.
e.g.
./perf probe --add 'schedule:44 rq->curr'
./perf probe --add 'vfs_read file->f_op->read file->f_path.dentry'
Note that '>' can be interpreted as redirection in command-line.

Improve --list to show current exist probes with line number and
file name. This enables user easily to check which line is
already probed.
for example:
./perf probe --list
probe:vfs_read (on vfs_read:8@linux-2.6-tip/fs/read_write.c)

Introduce kprobe_trace_event and perf_probe_event and replace
old probe_point structure with it. probe_point structure is
not enough flexible nor extensible. New data structures
will help implementing further features.

Rename die_get_real_subprogram and die_get_inlinefunc to
die_find_real_subprogram and die_find_inlinefunc respectively,
because these functions search its children. After that,
'die_get_' means getting a property of that die, and
'die_find_' means searching DIE-tree to get an appropriate
child die.

Fix probe_point array-size overrun problem. In some cases (e.g.
inline function), one user-specified probe-point can be
translated to many probe address, and it overruns pre-defined
array-size. This also removes redundant MAX_PROBES macro
definition.
