How would this look like in userspace? Something like this?
8<----
struct perf_event_marker {
uint64_t value;
char *string;
} arg;
arg.value = 0x1234;
/* or */
arg.value = 0;
arg.string = "abcd";
ioctl(fd, PERF_EVENT_IOC_MARKER, &arg)
8<----
If so, maybe it would simpler just to go for classic size/data
structure?
8<-----
struct perf_event_marker {
uint32_t size;
void *data;
}
8<-----
This would directly map into struct perf_raw_record...
