From: Masami Hiramatsu Date: Tue, 5 Jan 2010 22:46:48 +0000 (-0500) Subject: tracing/kprobe: Drop function argument access syntax X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=14640106f243a3b29944d7198569090fa6546f2d;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git tracing/kprobe: Drop function argument access syntax Drop function argument access syntax, because the function arguments depend on not only architecture but also compile-options and function API. And now, we have perf-probe for finding register/memory assigned to each argument.
