[PATCH] perf annotate: Fix SEGV with assembly labels

From: Anton Blanchard
Date: Thu Jul 11 2013 - 00:32:57 EST



I'm getting a SEGV when running perf annotate on a ppc64 box. The
objdump -S output causing the SEGV looks like:

b .ret_from_except_lite
c00000000000a508: b c00000000000a4d4 <.ret_from_except_lite>

1: bl .save_nvgprs
c00000000000a50c: bl c00000000000a110 <.save_nvgprs>

symbol__parse_objdump_line makes an effort to distinguish between
instruction addresses and assembly labels but the check is
insufficent.

In the above case we get line_ip = 1, and (line_ip - start) is
positive so our offset < 0 check does not catch it.

Fix this by adding an unsigned comparison against start.
