Subject: [PATCH perf/core v2 0/8] perf-probe: Add filtering features

Hi,

Here is a series of patches which improves perf-probe to add
filtering features for --list,--del and --funcs. This also
includes some bugfixes and cleanups.

I've fixed some patches according to Namhyung's review(Thanks!).

E.g. --list/--funcs accepts filter rules.
  ----
  # ./perf probe -l vfs\*
    probe:vfs_read       (on vfs_read@...c/linux-3/fs/read_write.c)
  # ./perf probe -l \*libc:\*
    probe_libc:malloc    (on __libc_malloc@...loc/malloc.c in /usr/lib64/libc-2.17.so)
  ----
  ----
  # ./perf probe -F *kmalloc
  __kmalloc
  devm_kmalloc
  mempool_kmalloc
  sg_kmalloc
  sock_kmalloc
  ----

Also, --del accepts filter rules too which is more flexible than
simple wildcard.
  ----
  # ./perf probe -d 'vfs*|malloc'
  Removed event: probe:vfs_read
  Removed event: probe_libc:malloc
  ----

Changes in v2:
  - [2/8] Fix to check errors except -ENOENT on deleting events.
  - [5/8] Ditto.
  - [5/8] Fix to check memory allocation error in strfilter__string.
  - [5/8] Fix to check errors of strfilter__string for verifying
          given filter.

Thank you,


---
