[PATCH 0/4] perf annotate-data: Support flexible array types

[Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org>]

Hello,

The flexible arrays are dynamically allocated with different size.  So checking
with the original type size won't match and cannot match the sample.  This patch
series detects those flex-arrays and allows accesses beyond the original size.

I'm not sure what's the best way to add test codes for data type profiling as it
seems we need to add a lot more workloads for different cases.  Probably we may
want to split the workloads as separate binaries.

Thanks,
Namhyung
