tracing/kprobes: Allow to create probe with a module name starting with a digit
commit 9e52b325 upstream. Always try to parse an address, since kstrtoul() will safely fail when given a symbol as input. If that fails (which will be the case for a symbol), try to parse a symbol instead. This allows creating a probe such as: p:probe/vlan_gro_receive 8021q:vlan_gro_receive+0 Which is necessary for this command to work: perf probe -m 8021q -a vlan_gro_receive Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/fd72d666f45b114e2c5b9cf7e27b91de1ec966f1.1498122881.git.sd@queasysnail.net Fixes: 413d37d1 ("tracing: Add kprobe-based event tracer") Acked-by: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Sabrina Dubroca <sd@queasysnail.net> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org> [bwh: Backported to 3.16: preserve the check that an addresses isn't used for a kretprobe] Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk>
