[PATCH] perf tools: fix objdump line parsing offset validation

From: Adrian Hunter
Date: Thu Sep 12 2013 - 14:08:34 EST


When parsing lines from objdump a line containing source
code starting with a numeric label is mistaken for a line
of disassembly starting with a memory address. Current
validation fails to recognise that the "memory address" is
out of range and calculates an invalid offset which later
causes this segfault:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

After the fix is applied the symbol can be annotated
showing the problematic line "1: rep"
