#1408481 — [PATCH perf/core v9 16/16] perf probe: Support a special SDT probe format

Support a special SDT probe format which can omit the '%' prefix
only if the SDT group name starts with "sdt_". So, for example
both of "%sdt_libc:setjump" and "sdt_libc:setjump" are acceptable
for perf probe --add.

 'EVENT' specifies the name of new event, if omitted, it will be set the name of the probed function. You can also specify a group name by 'GROUP', if omitted, set 'probe' is used for kprobe and 'probe_<bin>' is used for uprobe.
 Note that using existing group name can conflict with other events. Especially, using the group name reserved for kernel modules can hide embedded events in the
