If that works it's some problem in the perf implementation. Right, I'll try and figure this out, since you didn't manage to easily reproduce this. > It is likely that it would need to be fixed in libbfd. > > To work around it we could turn off force resolving the srcline, > but that would make the output much less useful too unfortuantely... I'll try to find out if there is something that can flag a file as "unsafe" to feed libbfd with, so that we can have a workaround for known buggy libbfds, if that ends up being really the case. - Arnaldo -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
