Masami Hiramatsu a3110cd9d0 perf probe: Cut off the version suffix from event name
Cut off the version suffix (e.g. @GLIBC_2.2.5 etc.) from automatic
generated event name. This fixes wildcard event adding like below case;

  =====
  # perf probe -x /lib64/libc-2.25.so malloc*
  Internal error: "malloc_get_state@GLIBC_2" is wrong event name.
    Error: Failed to add events.
  =====

This failure was caused by a versioned suffix symbol.

With this fix, perf probe automatically cuts the suffix after @ as
below.

  =====
  # ./perf probe -x /lib64/libc-2.25.so malloc*
  Added new events:
    probe_libc:malloc_printerr (on malloc* in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so)
    probe_libc:malloc_consolidate (on malloc* in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so)
    probe_libc:malloc_check (on malloc* in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so)
    probe_libc:malloc_hook_ini (on malloc* in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so)
    probe_libc:malloc    (on malloc* in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so)
    probe_libc:malloc_trim (on malloc* in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so)
    probe_libc:malloc_usable_size (on malloc* in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so)
    probe_libc:malloc_stats (on malloc* in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so)
    probe_libc:malloc_info (on malloc* in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so)
    probe_libc:mallochook (on malloc* in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so)
    probe_libc:malloc_get_state (on malloc* in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so)
    probe_libc:malloc_set_state (on malloc* in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so)

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

	  perf record -e probe_libc:malloc_set_state -aR sleep 1

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
