It is wrong way to read link name from a build-id file. Because a build-id file is not symbolic link but build-id directory of it is symbolic link, so fix it.
For example, if build-id file name gotten from dso__build_id_filename() is as below, /root/.debug/.build-id/4f/75c7d197c951659d1c1b8b5fd49bcdf8f3f8b1/elf To correctly read link name of build-id, use the build-id dir path that is a symbolic link, instead of the above build-id file name like below. /root/.debug/.build-id/4f/75c7d197c951659d1c1b8b5fd49bcdf8f3f8b1 Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhy...@kernel.org> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jo...@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Taeung Song <treeze.tae...@gmail.com> --- tools/perf/util/annotate.c | 10 +++++++++- 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/tools/perf/util/annotate.c b/tools/perf/util/annotate.c index 3d0263e..6dc9148 100644 --- a/tools/perf/util/annotate.c +++ b/tools/perf/util/annotate.c @@ -1307,6 +1307,7 @@ static int dso__disassemble_filename(struct dso *dso, char *filename, size_t fil { char linkname[PATH_MAX]; char *build_id_filename; + char *build_id_path = NULL; if (dso->symtab_type == DSO_BINARY_TYPE__KALLSYMS && !dso__is_kcore(dso)) @@ -1322,8 +1323,14 @@ static int dso__disassemble_filename(struct dso *dso, char *filename, size_t fil goto fallback; } + build_id_path = strdup(filename); + if (!build_id_path) + return -1; + + dirname(build_id_path); + if (dso__is_kcore(dso) || - readlink(filename, linkname, sizeof(linkname)) < 0 || + readlink(build_id_path, linkname, sizeof(linkname)) < 0 || strstr(linkname, DSO__NAME_KALLSYMS) || access(filename, R_OK)) { fallback: @@ -1335,6 +1342,7 @@ static int dso__disassemble_filename(struct dso *dso, char *filename, size_t fil __symbol__join_symfs(filename, filename_size, dso->long_name); } + free(build_id_path); return 0; } -- 2.7.4
