[ Upstream commit 35a8a148d8c1ee9e5ae18f9565a880490f816f89 ] The command 'perf annotate' parses the output of objdump and also investigates the comments produced by objdump. For example the output of objdump produces (on x86): 23eee: 4c 8b 3d 13 01 21 00 mov 0x210113(%rip),%r15 # 234008 <stderr@@GLIBC_2.2.5+0x9a8> and the function mov__parse() is called to investigate the complete line. Mov__parse() breaks this line into several parts and finally calls function comment__symbol() to parse the data after the comment character '#'. Comment__symbol() expects a hexadecimal address followed by a symbol in '<' and '>' brackets. However the 2nd parameter given to function comment__symbol() always points to the comment character '#'. The address parsing always returns 0 because the character '#' is not a digit and strtoull() fails without being noticed. Fix this by advancing the second parameter to function comment__symbol() by one byte before invocation and add an error check after strtoull() has been called.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
