From fb8c5a56c7ddbc2b0d2ee7a8da60fe1355f75141 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Masami Hiramatsu Date: Thu, 21 Oct 2010 19:13:35 +0900 Subject: perf probe: Show accessible global variables Add --externs for allowing --vars to show accessible global (externally defined) variables from a given probe point too. This will give you a hint which globals can be accessible from the probe point.
