Re: [PATCH v3 0/2] perf probe: fix regression introduced by switch to die_get_decl_file

[Linux regression tracking (Thorsten Leemhuis)]

Hi, Thorsten here, the Linux kernel's regression tracker. Top-posting
for once, to make this easily accessible to everyone.

Masami, Arnaldo, what's up here? Georg (who is not a regular
contributor) afaics found a regression in a commit you
authored/committed and even provided a patch-set to fix it (the first
one nearly four weeks ago, e.g. before the merge window started), but
hasn't received much support from your side to get this in. Could you
please look into this to get this cleared up? Or am I missing something
and progress to fix this has been made?

Ciao, Thorsten (wearing his 'the Linux kernel's regression tracker' hat)
