Subject: [PATCH 25/27] perf probe: Fix to cut off incompatible chars from group name

From: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@...nel.org>

Cut off the characters which can not use for group name of uprobes
when making it based on executable filename.

For example, if the exec name is libstdc++.so, without this fix
perf probe generates "probe_libstdc++" as the group name, but
it is failed to set because '+' can not be used for group name.

With this fix perf accepts only alphabet, number or '_' for group
name, thus perf generates "probe_libstdc" as the group name.

E.g. with this fix, you can see the event name has no "+".

  $ ./perf probe -x /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 -D is_open
  p:probe_libstdc/is_open /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.22:0x8ca80
  p:probe_libstdc/is_open_1 /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.22:0x8ca70
  p:probe_libstdc/is_open_2 /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.22:0x8ca60
  p:probe_libstdc/is_open_3 /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.22:0xb0ad0
  p:probe_libstdc/is_open_4 /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.22:0xecca9

Committer note:

Before this fix:

  # perf probe -x /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 is_open
  Failed to write event: Invalid argument
    Error: Failed to add events.
  #

After the fix:

  # perf probe -x /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 is_open
  Added new events:
    probe_libstdc:is_open (on is_open in /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.22)
    probe_libstdc:is_open_1 (on is_open in /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.22)
    probe_libstdc:is_open_2 (on is_open in /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.22)
    probe_libstdc:is_open_3 (on is_open in /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.22)
    probe_libstdc:is_open_4 (on is_open in /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.22)

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

	  perf record -e probe_libstdc:is_open_4 -aR sleep 1

  # perf probe -l probe_libstdc:*
    probe_libstdc:is_open (on is_open@...stdc++-v3/include/fstream in /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.22)
    probe_libstdc:is_open_1 (on is_open@...stdc++-v3/include/fstream in /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.22)
    probe_libstdc:is_open_2 (on is_open@...stdc++-v3/include/fstream in /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.22)
    probe_libstdc:is_open_3 (on is_open@.../c++98/basic_file.cc in /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.22)
    probe_libstdc:is_open_4 (on stdio_filebuf:5@...lude/ext/stdio_filebuf.h in /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.22)
