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

Arch like powerpc has jump instructions that includes target address as second operand. For example, 'bne cr7,0xc0000000000f6154'. Add support for such instruction in perf annotate. objdump o/p: c0000000000f6140: ld r9,1032(r31) c0000000000f6144: cmpdi cr7,r9,0 c0000000000f6148: bne cr7,0xc0000000000f6154 c0000000000f614c: ld r9,2312(r30) c0000000000f6150: std r9,1032(r31) c0000000000f6154: ld r9,88(r31) Corresponding perf annotate o/p: Before patch: ld r9,1032(r31) cmpdi cr7,r9,0 v bne 3ffffffffff09f2c ld r9,2312(r30) std r9,1032(r31) 74: ld r9,88(r31) After patch: ld r9,1032(r31) cmpdi cr7,r9,0 v bne 74 ld r9,2312(r30) std r9,1032(r31) 74: ld r9,88(r31) Signed-off-by: Ravi Bangoria <redacted> --- Changes in v8: - v7: https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/9/21/436 - Rebase to acme/perf/core - Little change in patch description. - No logical changes.
