CSV? like: BR_MISP_EXEC.ALL_BRANCHES,event=0x89,umask=0xff BR_MISP_EXEC.COND,event=0x89,umask=0x1 BR_MISP_EXEC.DIRECT_NEAR_CALL,event=0x89,umask=0x10 BR_MISP_EXEC.INDIRECT_JMP_NON_CALL_RET,event=0x89,umask=0x4 BR_MISP_EXEC.INDIRECT_NEAR_CALL,event=0x89,umask=0x20 BR_MISP_EXEC.NONTAKEN,event=0x89,umask=0x40 BR_MISP_EXEC.RETURN_NEAR,event=0x89,umask=0x8 BR_MISP_EXEC.TAKEN,event=0x89,umask=0x80 would be no big change for alias loader thanks, jirka -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
