Subject[PATCH] oprofile: fix ia64 callgraph bug with old gcc
FromGreg Banks <>
DateWed, 05 Jan 2005 20:57:40 +1100
G'day,

This patch from Keith Owens fixes a bug in the ia64 port
of oprofile when built without the kdb patch and with a
pre-3.4 gcc.

I don't speak for SGI.

If you build a standard kernel with gcc < 3.4 then
ia64_spinlock_contention_pre3_4 is defined.  But a standard kernel
does not have ia64_spinlock_contention_pre3_4_end, that label is
only added by the kdb patch.  To get the backtrace profiling with
gcc < 3.4, the _end label needs to be added as part of the kernprof
patch, then I will remove it from kdb.  Send this to akpm.
