Subject: [PATCH 4/4] perf annotate-data: Adjust type offset for flex-array
Date: Fri, 11 Sep 2026 22:47:06 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260912054706.1475583-5-namhyung@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260912054706.1475583-1-namhyung@kernel.org>
The flex array members are located beyond the original type size. Also
it needs to adjust the offset in an array to find a corresponding
element using module operation. Note that we focus on access to type and
field, so array index is not important.
Make sure to find a field name for flex arrays.
