Subject: [PATCHSET v2 0/7] perf annotate: Add --code-with-type option

Hello,

There are roughly two modes in the perf annotate.  One is normal code
annotation and the other is data type annotation.  I'm proposing a new
way to combine the code and data annotation together.

With this option, "# data-type: <name> [offset (field)]" part will be
added when it found a data type for the given instruction.  This is
for every instruction in the function regardless whether it has a
sample or not.

This will be useful to understand function level data access patterns.
Currently it only works with --stdio, but I can add it to TUI later.

v2 changes)

 * fix typos in the cover letter  (Ian)
 * fix a build error when !HAVE_LIBDW_SUPPORT
 * add Reviewed-by from Ian

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250303173807.1765098-1-namhyung@kernel.org

Here's an example output.


  $ perf annotate --code-with-type --stdio
