Re: [PATCH] bootgraph: fix for use with dot symbols

question for the ppc folks.... why does the "print symbol" magic format str

thing print a dot symbol and not the real function name?
Should that be fixed instead?

We have two symbols for each function, foo points to the function
descriptor, and .foo points to the instruction text. If we were to strip
the '.' when we print symbols then it would become harder to diagnose
some failures (eg branching to the function descriptor instead of the
instruction text).

Arjan,

I don't think there is much scope for removing dot symbols in the near
future.

Can you please take the patch as is for now so bootgraph will at least
work for existing systems?
