I was referring to the subtraction in map__rip_2objdump, but you've addressed that below. > This seems to work (without any other changes): > > if (dso__is_vdso(dso)) > map->reloc = map->start - shdr.sh_addr + shdr.sh_offset; > > Haven't tested 32-bit yet though. FWIW, this works on arm64 and x86_64 with my testing: Tested-by: Will Deacon Cheers, Will -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
