[DTrace-devel] [PATCH] Add function name to underlying return probes

From: Eugene Loh <eugene.loh at oracle.com>

In commit 35a4f05c2
("Add support for pid function "-" with absolute offset"),
function names were removed from underlying probe descriptions.
That was so that pid absolute offset probes (pid$pid:a.out:-:$absoff),
with function "-", could sit on the same underlying probes as
pid$pid:$mod:$fun:entry, pid$pid:$mod:$fun:$off, and USDT probes.

While that made sense for those probes, it did not make sense for pid
return probes:  their underlying probes, all with probe name "return",
are no longer distinguishable.  Further, there was no need for any such
change, since no other probes will have the same underlying return probe.

Name underlying return probes with function name.
