Hi Yao,
From what I can tell issue 1) is about done ?
On my end we have fast tracepoints for arm almost ready with JIT
conditions and pc relative instructions relocation.
I would like to post that in the next few weeks, but it would be
better if the normal tracepoints were in before that.
Is it a good time to review these patches now?
Thanks,
Antoine
