Subject: [PATCH 1/2] libtraceevent: Split out btf func init code from tep_btf_print_args()
Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2026 15:13:36 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260120201543.460979-2-rostedt@goodmis.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260120201543.460979-1-rostedt@goodmis.org>
From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@goodmis.org>
In order to use BTF for various other attributes of functions, move out the
btf function initialization from the tp_btf_print_args() and into its own
function.
