Subject: Re: llvm bpf debug info. Re: [RFC PATCH v4 3/3] bpf: Introduce function for outputing data to perf event

Just for your information:

The buggy DW_AT_name seems to be a problem in assembler.

I built the C file using -S:

$ clang -target bpf -g -c -O2 test.c

Then in resuming test.s, replaced all BPF op by "nop";

Also adjust .file directive;

Then assemble the .s file using as:

$ as -c test.s -o test.o

Then check dwarf info using objdump:

$ objdump --dwarf=info test.o

DW_AT_name looks all correct.

Thank you.
