[PATCH v3 2/3] Support for perf to probe into SDT markers:


This allows perf to probe into the sdt markers/notes present in
the libraries and executables. We try to find the associated location
and handle prelinking (since, stapsdt notes section is not allocated
during runtime). Prelinking is handled with the help of base
section which is allocated during runtime. This address can be compared
with the address retrieved from the notes' description. If its different,
we can take this difference and then add to the note's location.

We can use existing '-a/--add' option to add events for sdt markers.
Also, we can add multiple events at once using the same '-a' option.

Usage:
perf probe -x /lib64/libc.so.6 -a 'my_event=%libc:setjmp'

Output:
Added new event:
  libc:my_event        (on 0x35981)

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

    perf record -e libc:my_event -aR sleep 1
