From b7702a2136b5f8e0e186e22cae91aaecf98b418c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Masami Hiramatsu Date: Wed, 16 Dec 2009 17:24:15 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] perf probe: Check new event name Check new event name is same syntax as a C symbol in perf command. In other words, checking the name is as like as other tracepoint events. This can prevent user to create an event with useless name (e.g. foo|bar, foo*bar).
