SubjectRe: [PATCH v8 2/3] perf annotate: Support jump instruction with target as second operand
From
Date
Hi Arnaldo,

Hmm, so it's difficult to find example of this when we use debuginfo.
Because...

Jump__parse tries to look for two things 'offset' and 'target address'.

objdump with debuginfo will include offset in assembly f.e. annotate of
'smp_call_function_single' with perf.data and vmlinux I shared.

│c00000000016d6ac: cmpwi cr7,r9,0 ▒
│c00000000016d6b0: ↑ bne cr7,c00000000016d59c <.smp_call_function_single+0x8c> ▒
│c00000000016d6b4: addis r10,r2,-15 ▒

objdump of same function with kcore.

│c00000000016d6ac: cmpwi cr7,r9,0 ▒
│c00000000016d6b0: ↓ bne cr7,0xc00000000016d59c ▒
│c00000000016d6b4: addis r10,r2,-15 ▒

Annotating in first case won't show any issue because we directly get
offset. But in this case as well, we are parsing wrong target address
in ops->target.addr

While we don't have offset in second case, we use target address to
find it. And thus it shows wrong o/p something like:

│ cmpwi cr7,r9,0 ▒
│ ↓ bne 3fffffffffe92afc ▒
│ addis r10,r2,-15 ▒

BTW, we have lot of such instructions in kernel.

Thanks,
-Ravi
