From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: acme@kernel.org (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo) Date: Wed, 11 Feb 2015 18:09:00 -0300 Subject: [PATCH 06/21] perf symbols: Ignore mapping symbols on aarch64 In-Reply-To: <1423688955-8094-1-git-send-email-acme@kernel.org> References: <1423688955-8094-1-git-send-email-acme@kernel.org> Message-ID: <1423688955-8094-7-git-send-email-acme@kernel.org> To: linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org List-Id: linux-arm-kernel.lists.infradead.org From: Victor Kamensky Aarch64 ELF files use mapping symbols with special names $x, $d to identify regions of Aarch64 code (see Aarch64 ELF ABI - "ARM IHI 0056B", section "4.5.4 Mapping symbols"). The patch filters out these symbols at load time, similar to "696b97a perf symbols: Ignore mapping symbols on ARM" changes done for ARM before V8. Also added handling of mapping symbols that has format "$d." and similar for both cases. Note we are not making difference between EM_ARM and EM_AARCH64 mapping symbols instead code handles superset of both.
