Subject: Re: [PATCH 1/2] perf probe: Fix wrong register name for arm64

Just noticed that this patch fixes commit e47392bf9c06 (v4.8+). So,
Ccing stable@...r.kernel.org
[e47392bf9c06 perf uprobe: Skip prologue if program compiled without
optimization]

After e47392bf9c06 on ARM64:
# cat > test.c << EOF
> #include <stdio.h>
>
> int main(int argc, void **argv)
> {
>         printf("argc =%d\n", argc);
> }
> EOF
# gcc -g  -o test test.c
# perf probe -x ./test -a 'main argc'
Target program is compiled without optimization. Skipping prologue.
Probe on address 0x400600 to force probing at the function entry.

Failed to write event: Invalid argument
  Error: Failed to add events.

If this patch is applied on top of e47392bf9c06:
perf probe -x ./test -a 'main argc'
Target program is compiled without optimization. Skipping prologue.
Probe on address 0x400600 to force probing at the function entry.

Added new event:
  probe_test:main      (on main in
/home/panand/work/test_code/uprobe_test/test with argc)

You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

        perf record -e probe_test:main -aR sleep 1
