I added some tricks for vdso in build_id_cache__add(). It replace vdso object
with debugging one if found. Is this okay?
+static char *build_id_cache__find_debug_vdso(const char *sbuild_id)
+{
+ char sbuild_id_tmp[SBUILD_ID_SIZE];
+ struct build_id bid;
+ int i, ret = 0;
+
+ printf("Looking at the vdso_path (%d entries long)\n",
+ vdso_paths.nr_entries + 1);
+
+ for (i = 0; i < vdso_paths.nr_entries; ++i) {
+ ret = filename__read_build_id(vdso_paths.paths[i], &bid);
+ if (ret < 0)
+ continue;
+
+ build_id__sprintf(&bid, sbuild_id_tmp);
+ if (!strcmp(sbuild_id, sbuild_id_tmp)) {
+ printf("Found debugging vdso %s\n", vdso_paths.paths[i]);
+ return strdup(vdso_paths.paths[i]);
+ }
+ }
+
+ return NULL;
+}
+
int
build_id_cache__add(const char *sbuild_id, const char *name, const char *realname,
struct nsinfo *nsi, bool is_kallsyms, bool is_vdso,
const char *proper_name, const char *root_dir)
{
const size_t size = PATH_MAX;
- char *filename = NULL, *dir_name = NULL, *linkname = zalloc(size), *tmp;
+ char *filename = NULL, *dir_name = NULL, *vdso_name = NULL, *linkname = zalloc(size), *tmp;
char *debugfile = NULL;
int err = -1;
+ /* replace vdso object with debugging one if found */
