    perf probe: Remove caches when --cache is given · 4a0f65c1
    Masami Hiramatsu authored
    'perf probe --del' removes caches when '--cache' is given.  Note that
    the delete pattern is not the same as for normal events.
    
    If you cached probes with event name, --del "eventname" works as
    expected. However, if you skipped it, the cached probes doesn't have
    actual event name. In that case --del "probe-desc" is required (wildcard
    is acceptable).  For example a cache entry has the probe-desc "vfs_read
    $params", you can remove it with --del 'vfs_read*'.
