Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] Fix srcline addr2line issue with the ',' sentinel
Date: Mon, 12 Jun 2023 20:48:15 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230613034817.1356114-1-irogers@google.com> (raw)

addr2line makes it hard to detect when inline output has finished. To
detect it srcline issues a bogus ',' symbol and expects to see a
filename:line of "??:0". For binutils addr2line ',' gets turned into
address 0 and if there is a symbol there then the sentinel isn't
detected, this problem has been occurring with kernel binaries.

The issue was reported by and debugged by Changbin Du <changbin.du@huawei.com>.

v2. Incorporate feedback from Changbin.

Ian Rogers (2):
  perf srcline: Make addr2line configuration failure more verbose
  perf srcline: Make sentinel reading for binutils addr2line more robust
