[PATCH 3/9] New commands `enable probe' and `disable probe'.

["Jose E. Marchesi" <jose.marchesi@oracle.com>]

This patch adds the above-mentioned commands to the generic probe abstraction
implemented in probe.[ch].  The effects associated to enabling or disabling a
probe depend on the type of probe being handled, and is triggered by invoking
two back-end hooks in `probe_ops'.

In case some particular probe type does not support the notion of enabling
and/or disabling, the corresponding fields on `probe_ops' can be initialized
to NULL.  This is the case of SystemTap probes.

2014-09-26  Jose E. Marchesi  <jose.marchesi@oracle.com>

	* stap-probe.c (stap_probe_ops): Add NULLs in the static
	stap_probe_ops for `enable_probe' and `disable_probe'.

	* probe.c (enable_probes_command): New function.
	(disable_probes_command): Likewise.
	(_initialize_probe): Define the cli commands `enable probe' and
	`disable probe'.

	* probe.h (probe_ops): New hooks `enable_probe' and
	`disable_probe'.

gdb/doc:

2014-09-26  Jose E. Marchesi  <jose.marchesi@oracle.com>

	* gdb.texinfo (Static Probe Points): Cover the `enable probe' and
	`disable probe' commands.

+Some probe points can be enabled and/or disabled.  The effects
+associated to enabling or disabling a probe depend on the type of
+probe being handled. @code{SystemTap} probes do not support these
+notions.
+
+You can enable (or disable) one or more probes using the following

+@item enable probes @r{[}@var{provider} @r{[}@var{name} @r{[}@var{objfile}@r{]}@r{]}@r{]}
+If given, @var{provider} is a regular expression used to match against
+provider names when selecting which probes to enable.  If omitted,
+probes by all probes from all providers are enabled.
+
+If given, @var{name} is a regular expression to match against probe
+names when selecting which probes to enable.  If omitted, probe names
+are not considered when deciding whether to enable them.
+
+If given, @var{objfile} is a regular expression used to select which
+object files (executable or shared libraries) to examine.  If not
+given, all object files are considered.
