Subject: [PATCH v5 15/26] perf annotate-arm64: Track return type after call instructions
Date: Tue, 8 Sep 2026 13:01:11 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260908130122.633500-16-wutengda@huaweicloud.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260908130122.633500-1-wutengda@huaweicloud.com>
Enable data type profiling to track function return values in arm64
annotations by looking up the DWARF return type of called functions.
