Subject: [PATCH v2 bpf-next 0/1] libbpf: usdt aarch64 support
Date: Mon, 11 Apr 2022 16:21:35 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1649690496-1902-1-git-send-email-alan.maguire@oracle.com> (raw)

USDT support [1] requires architecture-specific handling for translating
from argument strings describing each probe argument to appropriate values
that can be made available to the BPF program.  Determining value size,
whether it refers to a dereference (and if there is an offset from the
register value), a register value or a constant all have to be parsed
slightly differently for different architectures.  Details of format
handling for the aarch64 case are in patch 1.

Changes since v1:

- dropped patch refactoring all arch-specific parsing (Andrii)
- reworked sscanf()s to separate the two register dereference cases,
  made register parsing match [a-z0-9] in all cases (Andrii)
