[PATCH v4 2/3] perf/sdt : Support perf-list to print SDT events in a single file

Hemant Kumar
2014-08-28T03:50:13Z

This patch enables perf to look for SDT markers in a single file.
An individual file argument must be given to "perf list" to find out the SDT markers
present in that file.

Usage is as below :
# perf list sdt /home/hemant/tmp

/home/hemant/tmp:
%user : foo
%user : bar

On using this command, perf looks for SDTs in that file using the ELF functions from
the previous patch (in this series) and dumps them on stdout.
