[PATCH v5 0/2] perf script python: Add script for CoreSight disassembly

From: Leo Yan
Date: Sun May 15 2022 - 03:19:11 EST


This patch set is to restart the upstreaming for CoreSight disassembly
script [1], the python script can be used to dump assembly, source line
and symbols so it can be easier for humans inspecting.

The first patch changes python script engine to expose more information
for DSO and maps, so it's helpful for disassembly with objdump program.

The second patch is to introduce the python script for CoreSight trace
data disassembly for branch samples. It also can dump source line and
symbol info for instruction samples.

This patch set has been tested on Arm64 Juno board:

Changes from v4:
* Enhanced python script engine for DSO and map infos;
* Rewrote the python script, added support for symbol and source line
dumping.
