Subject: [PATCH] perf annotate: Numeric assembly labels cause incorrect annotation
Date: Tue, 7 Feb 2012 14:55:35 +1100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120207145535.71b9f22d@kryten> (raw)
A perf annotate of a kernel function written in assembly shows
very strange percentages:
: _GLOBAL(__copy_tofrom_user_base)
...

~300% in one function. Urgh.
This is caused by the way we parse objdump -S output, eg:
addi r3,r3,1
c00000000004d78c: addi r3,r3,1
1: bf cr7*4+2,2f
c00000000004d790: bne- cr7,c00000000004d7a4
We assume the asm label (1:) is an address, compute a bogus offset
into the function and then screw up the matching of samples to lines.
I notice this also fails with c inline assembly in a similar
manner.
We already have a sanity check that the address is not beyond the end
of the function, so add a check against the start too.
