The "-l" option is to print line numbers in the objdump output. perf annotate TUI only can show the line numbers later but it causes big slow downs for the kernel binary. Similarly, showing source code also takes a long time and it already has an option to control it. $ time objdump ... -d -S -C vmlinux > /dev/null real 0m3.474s user 0m3.047s sys 0m0.428s $ time objdump ... -d -l -C vmlinux > /dev/null real 0m1.796s user 0m1.459s sys 0m0.338s $ time objdump ... -d -C vmlinux > /dev/null real 0m0.051s user 0m0.036s sys 0m0.016s As it's not needed for data type profiling, let's make it conditional so that it can skip the unnecessary work.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
