Hi Ingo,

Here are several bugfixes and updates of perf-probe (v2).
This updates includes moving onto elfutils-libdw and
the lazy line matching support which you had mentioned :-)

elfutils library is developed closely with gcc team,
and it is simple and fast dwarf analysis library.

lazy-matching is similar to glob matching but ignoring
spaces in both of target and pattern.

Changes in v2:
 (Fixed bugs on x86-64)
 - Fix a type-casting bug in Makefile.
 - Cast Dwarf_Addr/Dwarf_Word to unsigned long long for
   printf-formats.


This is updated todo list. Most of them are related
to the 'type' support.

Long-term TODOs (future features):
  - Enhance probe-finder to decode call frame instructions.
  - Support sys_perf_counter_open (for non-root users)
  - Support tracing static variables (non global)
  - Support variable types from debuginfo (e.g. char, int, ...)
  - Support fields of data structures (var->field)
  - Support array (var[N])
  - Support dynamic array-indexing (var[var2])
  - Support string/dynamic arrays (*var, var[N..M])
  - Support force type-casting ((type)var)
  - Support the type of return value

Miscs:
  - Better support for probes on modules
  - --list option shows the file-name/line-number of each events.
  - More debugger like enhancements(%next, --disasm, etc.)


Thank you,

---
