Description
This session is aimed at discussing the benefits (and requirements) of having a unified type representation that can be used in tracing tools to facilitate type management, type compatibility checks, etc. With type info from the kernel, type info from userspace, and types that may be defined in tracing scripts, the hoops that one may need to jump through to make it all work as a single environment where cross-stack tracing can be done are a bit excessive.
Let's discuss ongoing efforts to work on this, and look at the needs, wants, etc to help drive this in the right direction where a single type management system can satisfy all requirements, and avoid duplication of effort, and painful conversions between systems.
