Subject: [PATCH] libbpf: add SIB addressing mode support for x86-64 USDT arguments
Date: Tue, 29 Jul 2025 20:52:44 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250729125244.28364-1-Phoenix500526@163.com> (raw)

Add support for Scale-Index-Base (SIB) addressing mode in USDT argument
parsing to handle complex memory addressing patterns commonly used in
x86-64 assembly. This enables tracing of USDT probes that reference
arguments using SIB addressing format like "1@-96(%rbp,%rax,8)".
