Arm64 ELF section '.note.stapsdt' uses string format "-4@[sp, NUM]" if the probe is to access data in stack, e.g. below is an example for dumping Arm64 ELF file and shows the argument format: Arguments: -4@[sp, 12] -4@[sp, 8] -4@[sp, 4] Comparing against other archs' argument format, Arm64's argument introduces an extra space character in the middle of square brackets, due to argv_split() uses space as splitter, the argument is wrongly divided into two items. To support Arm64 SDT, this patch fixes up for this case, if any item contains sub string "[sp", concatenates the two continuous items. And adds the detailed explaination in comment.
