[RFC PATCH perf/core v2 14/16] perf probe: Add group name support

Show all headers | View raw

Allow user to set group name for adding new event.
Note that this can easily shot yourself in the foot.
E.g. Existing group name can conflict with other events.
Especially, using the group name reserved for kernel
modules can break something when loading/unloading
modules.
