Subject: [PATCH 1/7] tracing/kprobes: Add $ prefix to special variables

From: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@...hat.com>

Add $ prefix to the special variables(e.g. sa, rv) of kprobe-tracer.
This resolves consistency issues between kprobe_events and perf-kprobe.

The main goal is to avoid conflicts between local variable names of
probed functions, used by perf probe, and special variables used
in the kprobe event creation interface (stack values, etc...) and
also available from perf probe.

ie: we don't want rv (return value) to conflict with a local variable
named rv in a probed function.

 To add a probe as a new event, write a new definition to kprobe_events
 as below.
 
-  echo p:myprobe do_sys_open dfd=a0 filename=a1 flags=a2 mode=a3 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
+  echo p:myprobe do_sys_open dfd=$a0 filename=$a1 flags=$a2 mode=$a3 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
 
  This sets a kprobe on the top of do_sys_open() function with recording
 1st to 4th arguments as "myprobe" event. As this example shows, users can
 choose more familiar names for each arguments.
 
-  echo r:myretprobe do_sys_open rv ra >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
+  echo r:myretprobe do_sys_open $rv $ra >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
 
  This sets a kretprobe on the return point of do_sys_open() function with
 recording return value and return address as "myretprobe" event.
