BTW, on my environment (CentOS7)

# ./perf probe -a do_fork
Added new event:
  probe:do_fork        (on do_fork)

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

        perf record -e probe:do_fork -aR sleep 1

# ./perf probe -l
  probe:do_fork        (on do_fork@...nel/fork.c)

# ./perf probe -l -k /usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/3.10.0-123.13.2.el7.x86_64/vmlinux
  probe:do_fork        (on do_fork@...nel/fork.c)

Hm, the current perf (without this patch) seems work...
But anyway, it looks safer to brace it.

Thank you,
