perf probe: Fixup Arm64 SDT arguments
Arm64 ELF section '.note.stapsdt' uses string format "-4@[sp, NUM]" if the probe is to access data in stack, e.g. below is an example for dumping Arm64 ELF file and shows the argument format: Arguments: -4@[sp, 12] -4@[sp, 8] -4@[sp, 4] Comparing against other archs' argument format, Arm64's argument introduces an extra space character in the middle of square brackets, due to argv_split() uses space as splitter, the argument is wrongly divided into two items. To support Arm64 SDT, this patch fixes up for this case, if any item contains sub string "[sp", concatenates the two continuous items. And adds the detailed explaination in comment.

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 Restructured Text 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.
