Subject: perf annotate segfaults when source code has goto label that looks like hex number
Date: Thu, 22 Jul 2010 10:20:44 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100722072044.GD27177@redhat.com> (raw)

The script below demonstrate this. The problem is in
hist_entry__parse_objdump_line():

        if (*tmp) {
                /*
                 * Parse hexa addresses followed by ':'
                 */
                line_ip = strtoull(tmp, &tmp2, 16);
                if (*tmp2 != ':' || tmp == tmp2)
                        line_ip = -1;
        }
 
strtoull() returns valid number when it gets line with label and following
test passes too. I can't think of a way to unambiguously distinguish between
label and valid rip. May be running objdump with --prefix-addresses will
help, but it may make other thing unambiguous.

=== script ===
cat > test.c << EOF
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
	int i;

	while(1) {
		i++;
		if (i == 10000000)
			goto add;
	}
add:
	return 0;
}
EOF

gcc -g test.c
perf record ./a.out
perf annotate
