Subject: RE: [PATCH V6 1/1] perf tool: perf diff support for different
binaries
Hi Arnaldo,
The patch is one month old. Kim and Jirka have reviewed it.
There is also another perf diff related patch which has similar situation.
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/12/1/380
It was also reviewed by Jirka a month ago.
Both of them still apply to current perf/core.
Should I re-post them for more review?
Thanks,
Kan
