Subject: [PATCH v5 4/7] perf annotate: Do not ignore call instruction with indirect target
Date: Fri, 19 Aug 2016 10:59:03 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1471584546-11080-5-git-send-email-ravi.bangoria@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1471584546-11080-1-git-send-email-ravi.bangoria@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
Do not ignore call instruction with indirect target when its already
identified as a call. This is an extension of commit e8ea1561952b
("perf annotate: Use raw form for register indirect call instructions")
to generalize annotation for all instructions with indirect calls.
This is needed for certain powerpc call instructions that use address
in a register (such as bctrl, btarl, ...).
Apart from that, when kcore is used to disassemble function, all call
instructions were ignored. This patch will fix it as a side effect by
not ignoring them. For example,
Before (with kcore):
mov %r13,%rdi
callq 0xffffffff811a7e70
^ jmpq 64
mov %gs:0x7ef41a6e(%rip),%al
After (with kcore):
mov %r13,%rdi
> callq 0xffffffff811a7e70
^ jmpq 64
mov %gs:0x7ef41a6e(%rip),%al
Suggested-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
[Suggested about 'bctrl' instruction]
Signed-off-by: Ravi Bangoria <ravi.bangoria@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Changes in v5:
- New patch, introduced to annotate all indirect call instructions.
