Hi Ravi,

This code logic looks good. I just have several small comments for style.

What the purpose of this {}?

Could you please introduce an enum for specifying the index by name?

e.g.
enum {
SDT_NOTE_IDX_ADDR = 0,
SDT_NOTE_IDX_REFCTR = 2,
};

This can be minimized (and avoid repeating) by using 2 strbuf_addf()s, like

err = strbuf_addf(&buf, "p:%s/%s %s:0x%llx",
sdtgrp, note->name, pathname,
sdt_note__get_addr(note));
if (ref_ctr_offset && !err < 0)
err = strbuf_addf("(0x%llx)", ref_ctr_offset);

Here we should use enum above too.

Thank you,
