Re: [PATCH 7/8] perf probe: Support SDT markers having reference counter (semaphore)

Hi Ravi,

This code logic looks good. I just have several small comments for style.

What the purpose of this {}?

Could you please introduce an enum for specifying the index by name?

e.g.
enum {
	SDT_NOTE_IDX_ADDR = 0,
	SDT_NOTE_IDX_REFCTR = 2,
};

This can be minimized (and avoid repeating) by using 2 strbuf_addf()s, like

	err = strbuf_addf(&buf, "p:%s/%s %s:0x%llx",
			sdtgrp, note->name, pathname,
			sdt_note__get_addr(note));
	if (ref_ctr_offset && !err < 0)
		err = strbuf_addf("(0x%llx)", ref_ctr_offset);

Here we should use enum above too.

Thank you,
