Subject: [PATCH v6 10/15] perf dso: Support BPF programs in dso__read_symbol
Date: Mon, 29 Sep 2025 12:08:00 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250929190805.201446-11-irogers@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250929190805.201446-1-irogers@google.com>
Set the buffer to the code in the BPF linear info. This enables BPF
JIT code disassembly by LLVM and capstone. Move the common but minimal
disassmble_bpf_image call to disassemble_objdump so that it is only
called after falling back to the objdump option. Similarly move the
disassmble_bpf function to disassemble_objdump and rename to
disassmble_bpf_libbfd to make it clearer that this support relies on
libbfd.
