Two new perf types, perf_kprobe and perf_uprobe, will be added to allow
creating [k,u]probe with perf_event_open. These [k,u]probe are associated
with the file decriptor created by perf_event_open, thus are easy to
clean when the file descriptor is destroyed.

kprobe_func and uprobe_path are added to union config1 for pointers to
function name for kprobe or binary path for uprobe.

kprobe_addr and probe_offset are added to union config2 for kernel
address (when kprobe_func is NULL), or [k,u]probe offset.

I think we have to remove this restriction.
There are already functions with names longer than 64 characters
in the current vmlinux:
trace_event_define_fields_ext4_ext_convert_to_initialized_fastpath
trace_event_define_fields_mm_vmscan_direct_reclaim_begin_template

How about we drop this restriction and use NAME_MAX internally
without adding new uapi defines ?

Yeah, I agree that we should drop this uapi define. How about we use

#define KSYM_NAME_LEN 128

If a function name is longer than KSYM_NAME_LEN, we get warning like:

Symbol long_long_name_abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz_abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz_abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz_abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz_abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz_abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz_abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz_ too long for kallsyms (204 vs 128).
Please increase KSYM_NAME_LEN both in kernel and kallsyms.c

Thanks,
Song
