[PATCH 6/8] perf scripts python cs-etm: Improve arguments
From: James Clark
Date: Thu Sep 05 2024 - 06:52:54 EST
Make vmlinux detection automatic and use Perf's default objdump
when -d is specified. This will make it easier for a test to use the
script without having to provide arguments. And similarly for users.

# Below are some example commands for using this script.
+# Note a --kcore recording is required for accurate decode
+# due to the alternatives patching mechanism. However this
+# script only supports reading vmlinux for disassembly dump,
+# meaning that any patched instructions will appear
+# as unpatched, but the instruction ranges themselves will
+# be correct. In addition to this, source line info comes
+# from Perf, and when using kcore there is no debug info. The

+# +-----------+-----------------+------------------+------------------+
