[PATCH v3 0/7] perf/probe: Support multiprobe and immediates with fixes
From: Masami Hiramatsu
Date: Mon Nov 18 2019 - 03:11:47 EST
Hi Arnaldo,
This is the 3rd version of the multiprobe support on perf probe
including some fixes about "representive lines"
The previous thread is here:
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/157314406866.4063.16995747442215702109.stgit@devnote2
On the previous thread, we discussed some issues about incorrect line
information shown by perf probe. I finally fixed those by introducing
an idea of "representive line" -- a line which has a unique address
(no other lines shares the same address) or a line which has the least
line number among lines sharing same address. Now perf probe only shows
such representive lines can be probed([1/7][3/7]), and if user tries to
probe other non representive lines, it shows which line user should
probe ([2/7]). The rest of patches in the series are same as v2 (except
for [4/7], example output is updated)
This can be applied on top of perf/core.
Thank you,
---
