From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: david.gilbert@linaro.org (Dr. David Alan Gilbert) Date: Fri, 21 Jan 2011 16:40:19 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] fix perf Annotation of Thumb code Message-ID: <20110121163922.GA31398@davesworkthinkpad> To: linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org List-Id: linux-arm-kernel.lists.infradead.org Hi, In ARM's Thumb mode the bottom bit of the symbol address is set to mark the function as Thumb; the instructions are in reality 2 or 4 byte on 2 byte alignments, and when the +1 address is used in annotate it causes objdump to disassemble invalid instructions. The patch removes that bottom bit during symbol loading. This patch is against current linus's git, (2b1caf.....). Many thinks to Dave Martin for comments on an initial version of the patch.
