From 4886f2ca19f6ff22ebfbe8e78c79c699e572b89f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Victor Kamensky Date: Mon, 26 Jan 2015 22:34:01 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] perf symbols: Ignore mapping symbols on aarch64 Aarch64 ELF files use mapping symbols with special names $x, $d to identify regions of Aarch64 code (see Aarch64 ELF ABI - "ARM IHI 0056B", section "4.5.4 Mapping symbols"). The patch filters out these symbols at load time, similar to "696b97a perf symbols: Ignore mapping symbols on ARM" changes done for ARM before V8. Also added handling of mapping symbols that has format "$d." and similar for both cases. Note we are not making difference between EM_ARM and EM_AARCH64 mapping symbols instead code handles superset of both.
