fprobe: Add ftrace based probe APIs
The fprobe is a wrapper API for ftrace function tracer.
Unlike kprobes, this probes only supports the function entry, but this
can probe multiple functions by one fprobe. The usage is similar, user
will set their callback to fprobe::entry_handler and call
register_fprobe*() with probed functions.
There are 3 registration interfaces,
- register_fprobe() takes filtering patterns of the functin names.
- register_fprobe_ips() takes an array of ftrace-location addresses.
- register_fprobe_syms() takes an array of function names.
The registered fprobes can be unregistered with unregister_fprobe().
e.g.
struct fprobe fp = { .entry_handler = user_handler };
const char *targets[] = { "func1", "func2", "func3"};
...
ret = register_fprobe_syms(&fp, targets, ARRAY_SIZE(targets));
...
unregister_fprobe(&fp);
