[PATCH v2 1/4] perf probe: Generate event name with line number

[Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org>]

Generate event name from function name with line number
as <function>_L<line_number>. Note that this is only for
the new event which is defined by the line number of
function (except for line 0).

If there is another event on same line, you have to use
"-f" option. In that case, the new event has "_1" suffix.

 e.g.
  # perf probe -a kernel_read:1
  Added new events:
    probe:kernel_read_L1 (on kernel_read:1)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

  	perf record -e probe:kernel_read_L1 -aR sleep 1

But if we omit the line number or 0th line, it will
have no suffix.

  # perf probe -a kernel_read
  Added new event:
    probe:kernel_read (on kernel_read)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

  	perf record -e probe:kernel_read -aR sleep 1

  # perf probe -l
    probe:kernel_read    (on kernel_read@linux-5.0.0/fs/read_write.c)
    probe:kernel_read_L1 (on kernel_read@linux-5.0.0/fs/read_write.c)

 Changes in v2:
  - Do not add _L* suffix for the event which has no line
    number or line #0.
