[PATCH -tip v14 12/12] tracing: Add kprobes event profiling interface

[Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@redhat.com>]

Add profiling interaces for each kprobes event. This interface provides
how many times each probe hit or missed.

+Event Profiling
+---------------
+ You can check the total number of probe hits and probe miss-hits via
+/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_profile.
+ The first column is event name, the second is the number of probe hits,
+the third is the number of probe miss-hits.
+
+
 Usage examples
 --------------
 To add a probe as a new event, write a new definition to kprobe_events
