💖 construct_sdt_notes_list(9) — Kernel API Manual 💖

🎀 NAME 🎀

construct_sdt_notes_list — constructs a list of SDT notes. No cap, that’s literally the whole mission bestie. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int construct_sdt_notes_list (Elf *elf , struct list_head *sdt_notes );

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• elf — the elf to look into. 👀
• sdt_notes — an empty list_head. Yes, empty. It’s giving blank canvas. 🎨

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so picture this: construct_sdt_notes_list() scans the sections in elf for the section .note.stapsdt. It then calls populate_sdt_note to find out the SDT events and populates sdt_notes. That’s it. That’s the slay. ✨
