Subject: [PATCH] perf probe: Use dwarf_getcfi_elf() instead of dwarf_getcfi()
Date: Mon,  7 Apr 2014 16:05:48 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1396854348-9296-1-git-send-email-namhyung@kernel.org> (raw)

The dwarf_getcfi() only checks .debug_frame section for CFI, but as
most binaries only have .eh_frame it'd return NULL and it makes
some variables inaccessible.

Using dwarf_getcfi_elf (along with dwarf_getelf()) allows to show and
add probe to more variables.
