If a symbol name is longer than the maximum event length (64 bytes), the
perf tool reports error:
# perf probe -x test_cpp_mangle --add "this_is_a_very_very_long_print_data_abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz(int)"
snprintf() failed: -7; the event name nbase='this_is_a_very_very_long_print_data_abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz(int)' is too long
Error: Failed to add events.
An information is missed in the log that the symbol name and the event
name can be set separately. Especially, this is recommended for adding
probe for a long symbol.
This commit refines the log for reminding event syntax.
After:
# perf probe -x test_cpp_mangle --add "this_is_a_very_very_long_print_data_abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz(int)"
snprintf() failed: -7; the event name 'this_is_a_very_very_long_print_data_abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz(int)' is too long
Hint: Set a shorter event with syntax "EVENT=PROBEDEF"
EVENT: Event name (max length: 64 bytes).
Error: Failed to add events.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
