Description of SDT markers resides in .notes section. If .notes section is there, binary has SDT markers, if .notes section is not there, binary does not have any SDT markers. So SDT markers does not have anything to do with symbol table. > >> # ./perf probe sdt_tick:loop2 >> # ./perf stat -e sdt_tick:loop2 /tmp/tick >> hi: 0 >> hi: 1 >> hi: 2 >> ^C >> Performance counter stats for '/tmp/tick': >> 3 sdt_tick:loop2 >> 2.561851452 seconds time elapsed > > Also can we document how to use SDT markers with perf under perf-probe > or perf-build-cache? > Yes, perf-buildid-cache and perf-probe man pages describes about SDT markers.
