Subject: [PATCH perf/core 7/8] perf-probe: Support $params special probe
argument
$params is similar to $vars but matches only function parameters
not local variables.
Thus, this is useful for tracing function parameter changing
or tracing function call with parameters.

[NAME=]LOCALVAR|$retval|%REG|@...BOL[:TYPE]
'NAME' specifies the name of this argument (optional). You can use the name of local variable, local data structure member (e.g. var->field, var.field2), local array with fixed index (e.g. array[1], var->array[0], var->pointer[2]), or kprobe-tracer argument format (e.g. $retval, %ax, etc). Note that the name of this argument will be set as the last member name if you specify a local data structure member (e.g. field2 for 'var->field1.field2'.)
-'$vars' special argument is also available for NAME, it is expanded to the local variables which can access at given probe point.
+'$vars' and '$params' special arguments are also available for NAME, '$vars' is expanded to the local variables (including function parameters) which can access at given probe point. '$params' is expanded to only the function parameters.
'TYPE' casts the type of this argument (optional). If omitted, perf probe automatically set the type based on debuginfo. You can specify 'string' type only for the local variable or structure member which is an array of or a pointer to 'char' or 'unsigned char' type.
On x86 systems %REG is always the short form of the register: for example %AX. %RAX or %EAX is not valid.
