[PATCHv2 6/8] perf tools powerpc: Fix PPC64 ELF ABIv2 symbol decoding

Naveen N. Rao naveen.n.rao at linux.vnet.ibm.com
Tue Dec 16 01:50:36 AEDT 2014


PPC64 ELF ABIv2 has a Global Entry Point (GEP) and a Local Entry Point
(LEP). For purposes of probing, we need the LEP. Offset to the LEP is
encoded in st_other.

Changes from previous patchset:
Simplified logic by adding dependancy on HAVE_ARCH_SYMBOL_HANDLING. Also
generalized arch_elf_sym_decode() to be suitable for other architectures in
future.
