Subject: [PATCH tip 1/1] perf_counter tools: Fix off-by-one bug in symbol__new
Date: Wed, 3 Jun 2009 14:49:21 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090603174921.GG7805@ghostprotocols.net> (raw)

The end is really (start + len - 1). Noticed when synthesizing the PLT
symbols, that are small (16 bytes), and hot on the start RIP.
