Hi,

That's works nicely for me! 
Thanks a lot!!

Is there any guide for us to decide which tracepoint (or other kernel symbol) canbe used, and which cannot? 
For some of the kallsyms cannot be used directly. Such as  do_raw_spin_lock.
	perf probe -a test=do_raw_spin_lock
    Fatal: Kernel symbol 'do_raw_spin_lock' not found - probe not added. 
		
Best,
Chen
