perf probe: Add sdt probes arguments into the uprobe cmd string
An sdt probe can be associated with arguments but they were not passed
to the user probe tracing interface (uprobe_events); this patch adapts
the sdt argument descriptors according to the uprobe input format.
As the uprobe parser does not support scaled address mode, perf will
skip arguments which cannot be adapted to the uprobe format.
Here are the results:
$ perf buildid-cache -v --add test_sdt
$ perf probe -x test_sdt sdt_libfoo:table_frob
$ perf probe -x test_sdt sdt_libfoo:table_diddle
$ perf record -e sdt_libfoo:table_frob -e sdt_libfoo:table_diddle test_sdt
$ perf script
test_sdt ... 666.255678: sdt_libfoo:table_frob: (4004d7) arg0=0 arg1=0
test_sdt ... 666.255683: sdt_libfoo:table_diddle: (40051a) arg0=0 arg1=0
