These APIs +allow them to keep using it instead of duplicating all the entries inside. + +The _tep_func_resolver_t_ type is the prototype of the alternative kernel +functions resolver. This function receives a pointer to its custom context +(set with the _tep_set_function_resolver()_ call ) and the address of a kernel +function, which has to be resolved. In case of success, it should return +the name of the function and its module (if any) in _modp_. + +The _tep_set_function_resolver()_ function registers _func_ as an alternative +kernel functions resolver. The _tep_ argument is trace event parser context. +The _priv_ argument is a custom context of the _func_ function. The function +resolver is used by the APIs _tep_find_function()_, +_tep_find_function_address()_, and _tep_print_func_field()_ to resolve +a function address to a function name. + +The _tep_reset_function_resolver()_ function resets the kernel functions +resolver to the default function. The _tep_ argument is trace event parser +context. + + +These APIs can be used to find function name and start address, by given +address. The given address does not have to be exact, it will select +the function that would contain it. + +The _tep_find_function()_ function returns the function name, which contains the +given address _addr_. The _tep_ argument is the trace event parser context. + +The _tep_find_function_address()_ function returns the function start address, +by given address _addr_. The _addr_ does not have to be exact, it will select +the function that would contain it. The _tep_ argument is the trace event +parser context. + +The _tep_register_function()_ function registers a function name mapped to an +address and (optional) module. This mapping is used in case the function tracer +or events have "%pF" or "%pS" parameter in its format string. It is common to +pass in the kallsyms function names with their corresponding addresses with this +function. The _tep_ argument is the trace event parser context. The _name_ is +the name of the function, the string is copied internally. The _addr_ is +the start address of the function. The _mod_ is the kernel module +the function may be in (NULL for none). + +The _tep_register_print_string()_ function registers a string by the address +it was stored in the kernel. Some strings internal to the kernel with static +address are passed to certain events. The "%s" in the event's format field +which has an address needs to know what string would be at that address. The +tep_register_print_string() supplies the parsing with the mapping between kernel +addresses and those strings. The _tep_ argument is the trace event parser +context. The _fmt_ is the string to register, it is copied internally. +The _addr_ is the address the string was located at. + + +RETURN VALUE +------------ +The _tep_set_function_resolver()_ function returns 0 in case of success, or -1 +in case of an error. + +The _tep_find_function()_ function returns the function name, or NULL in case +it cannot be found. + +The _tep_find_function_address()_ function returns the function start address, +or 0 in case it cannot be found. + +The _tep_register_function()_ function returns 0 in case of success.
