Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 16/17] objtool: Add the --disas=<function-pattern> action
Date: Thu, 19 Jun 2025 16:56:58 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250619145659.1377970-17-alexandre.chartre@oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250619145659.1377970-1-alexandre.chartre@oracle.com>

Add the --disas=<function-pattern> actions to disassemble the specified
functions. The function pattern can be a single function name (e.g.
--disas foo to disassemble the function with the name "foo"), or a shell
wildcard pattern (e.g. --disas foo* to disassemble all functions with a
name starting with "foo").
