perf bpf: Allow BPF program config probing options



By extending the syntax of BPF object section names, this patch allows users to
config probing options like what they can do in 'perf probe'.

The error message in 'perf probe' is also updated.

Test result:

For following BPF file test_probe_glob.c:

  # cat test_probe_glob.c
  __attribute__((section("inlines=no;func=SyS_dup?"), used))

  int func(void *ctx)
  {
	  return 1;
  }

  char _license[] __attribute__((section("license"), used)) = "GPL";
  int _version __attribute__((section("version"), used)) = 0x40300;
  #
  # ./perf record  -e ./test_probe_glob.c ls /
  ...
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.013 MB perf.data ]
  # ./perf evlist
  perf_bpf_probe:func_1
  perf_bpf_probe:func

After changing "inlines=no" to "inlines=yes":

  # ./perf record  -e ./test_probe_glob.c ls /
  ...
  [ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.013 MB perf.data ]
  # ./perf evlist
  perf_bpf_probe:func_3
  perf_bpf_probe:func_2
  perf_bpf_probe:func_1
  perf_bpf_probe:func

Then test 'force':

Use following program:

  # cat test_probe_force.c
  __attribute__((section("func=sys_write"), used))

  int funca(void *ctx)
  {
	  return 1;
  }

  __attribute__((section("force=yes;func=sys_write"), used))

  int funcb(void *ctx)
  {
  	return 1;
  }

  char _license[] __attribute__((section("license"), used)) = "GPL";
  int _version __attribute__((section("version"), used)) = 0x40300;
  #

  # perf record -e ./test_probe_force.c usleep 1
  Error: event "func" already exists.
   Hint: Remove existing event by 'perf probe -d'
       or force duplicates by 'perf probe -f'
       or set 'force=yes' in BPF source.
  event syntax error: './test_probe_force.c'
                       \___ Probe point exist. Try 'perf probe -d "*"' and set 'force=yes'

  (add -v to see detail)
  ...

Then replace 'force=no' to 'force=yes':

  # vim test_probe_force.c
  # perf record -e ./test_probe_force.c usleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.017 MB perf.data ]
  # perf evlist
  perf_bpf_probe:func_1
  perf_bpf_probe:func
  #
