From: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@redhat.com>

Add profiling interfaces 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
