[PATCH v3 0/2] perf probe: add sdt probes arguments into the uprobe cmd string

[Alexis Berlemont]

Hi Hemant,

Once more thank you for your answer.

Sorry for this bug: I tested the patches only on small sample
binaries. Now it is tested against the systemtap-enabled libraries
libc and libpthread. There were 2 problems:

* The one you disclosed: in indirect addressing mode, positive offsets
  not prefixed with a '+' character;
* Another one still in indirect addressing mode: offsets which were
  not constants but symbols;

The following patches solves them both.

# cat /sys/kernel/tracing/uprobe_events

Thanks,
