Hi Namhyung,

Thanks for this patchset.

Could you plase have a look at patch 5/27 and 6/27 in my newest pull 
request?
These 2 patches utilize new probing API to create probe point and collect
probe_trace_events. I'm not very sure I fully understand your design 
principle,
especially the cleanup part, because I can see different functions 
dealing with
cleanup:

cleanup_perf_probe_events
del_perf_probe_events
clear_perf_probe_event
clear_probe_trace_event

But non of them works perfectly for me.

In bpf_prog_priv__clear() function of 6/27, I copied some code from
cleanup_perf_probe_events(), because I think when destroying bpf programs,
the probe_trace_events should also be cleanuped, but we don't need call
exit_symbol_maps() many times, because we are in 'perf record', and not
sure whether other parts of perf need symbol maps. Otherwise I think 
directly
calling cleanup_perf_probe_events() sould be better.

You can find patch from:

Thank you.
