powerpc: Uprobes port to powerpc
This is the port of uprobes to powerpc. Usage is similar to x86.
[root@xxxx ~]# ./bin/perf probe -x /lib64/libc.so.6 malloc
Added new event:
probe_libc:malloc (on 0xb4860)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe_libc:malloc -aR sleep 1
[root@xxxx ~]# ./bin/perf record -e probe_libc:malloc -aR sleep 20
[ perf record: Woken up 22 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 5.843 MB perf.data (~255302 samples) ]
[root@xxxx ~]# ./bin/perf report --stdio
