[Dle-develop] [PATCH -tip 08/10] perf probe: Introduce kprobe_trace_event and perf_probe_event

[Masami H. <mhi...@re...>]

Introduce kprobe_trace_event and perf_probe_event and replace
old probe_point structure with it. probe_point structure is
not enough flexible nor extensible. New data structures
will help implementing further features.
