Subject: [PATCH v2 0/3] perf arm64: Support SDT

This patch is to enable SDT on Arm64.

Since Arm64 SDT marker in ELF file is different from other archs,
especially for using stack pointer (sp) to retrieve data for local
variables, patch 01 is used to fixup the arguments for this special
case. Patch 02 is to add argument support for Arm64 SDT.

This patch set has been verified on Arm64/x86_64 platforms with a
testing program usdt_test. The testing approach is described in the
patch set v1 [1].

Changes from v1:
* Added Arnaldo's patch for fixing memory leak (Arnaldo);
* Refined patch "perf probe: Fixup Arm64 SDT arguments" to use
asprintf() and check pointer is valid or not (Arnaldo);
* Minor changes in patch "perf arm64: Add argument support for SDT"
for the regular expression;
* Added Masami's Ack tag for patch 03.

This one made it into 5.11

These were now merged in perf/core.
