Its just this one, can you try doing something like: perf top -vvv > /tmp/debug.top 2>&1 bzip2 /tmp/debug.top That will print lots of information about symbols being loaded, overlapping maps, etc that can help me understand why that symbol name looks garbage. And send me in pvt the result together with a fresh backtrace with those symbols printed? Also which distro are you using? - Arnaldo
