Message-Id: <20210810114813.12951-4-adrian.hunter@intel.com> Date: Tue, 10 Aug 2021 14:48:11 +0300 From: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@...el.com> To: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@...nel.org> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@...hat.com>, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH 3/5] perf tools: Amend dlfilter documentation wrt library dependencies Like all locally-built programs, dlfilters may need to be re-built if shared libraries they use change. Also there may be unexpected results if the dfilter uses different versions of the shared libraries that perf uses. Note those things in the documentation.
