When we derive event names, convert some expected symbols (such as ':'
used to specify module:name and '.' present in some symbols) into
underscores so that the event name is not rejected.
Before this patch:
# echo 'p kobject_example:foo_store' > kprobe_events
trace_kprobe: Failed to allocate trace_probe.(-22)
-sh: write error: Invalid argument
After this patch:
# echo 'p kobject_example:foo_store' > kprobe_events
# cat kprobe_events
p:kprobes/p_kobject_example_foo_store_0 kobject_example:foo_store
