This is on gentoo where I've built most of my system with -flto and importantly,the FEATURES="compressdebug splitdebug". My guess is that for some reason bdf_openr is failing to realize that the debug file is compressed, as the purported dwarf version is different for each type I get this error (which appears to be for every object file involved). For the session in question, there I get this error running "opannotate --source 350,225" times and the version ranges from 0 to 65535, so I presume this is just a two byte field to which it's picking from compressed data w/o decompressing it (so the struct is just crap). I had similar errors previously attempting to merge packages with -flto until I learned that you can tell portage to use the gcc wrappers for ar, ranlib and nm AR=gcc-ar NM=gcc-nm RANLIB=gcc-ranlib I have this error on two different machines with gentoo built similarly, so I'm not sure what isn't happening in binutils for it to fail, but I presume that this isn't oprofile. # emerge --info sys-devel/binutils dev-util/oprofile !!!

Hi Daniel, Please could you upload a test binary that demonstrates this problem, so that we can investigate further. Cheers Nick
I have a similar Gentoo setup with binutils 2.29.1 and see the same errors. Removing "compressdebug" from FEATURES during installation of glibc fixed the problem for me. From the Gentoo documentation: compressdebug: Compress the debug sections in the split debug files with zlib to save space. Make sure you have built both binutils and gdb with USE=zlib support for this to work. See splitdebug for general split debug information (upon which this feature depends). The instructions seem outdated, as neither binutils nor gdb currently offer the "zlib" USE-flag. A USE-flag controls configuration options and dependencies of a package about to be compiled and installed on Gentoo. Maybe it is auto-detected now. In any case zlib is installed. This was the patch that introduced "compressdebug" in Gentoo: https://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage-dev/message/fabff63fccb0bce10b4f93fcf4acf3e1 You can see the compiler/linker flags used to make it work.
Created attachment 10938 [details] Compressed glibc amd64 debug information from a Gentoo system.
Hi Marco, > I have a similar Gentoo setup with binutils 2.29.1 and see the same errors. This is surprising. > The instructions seem outdated, as neither binutils nor gdb currently offer > the "zlib" USE-flag. A USE-flag controls configuration options and > dependencies of a package about to be compiled and installed on Gentoo. > Maybe it is auto-detected now. Yes, it is. I ran the debug files in the tarball you uploaded through objdump (which uses the BFD library) and readelf (which does not) from the 2.29 binutils release, and they were able to display the debug information without any problems. (Admittedly this was using the Fedora 27 binutils, not Gentoo). I did not try using oprofile, but that is because I do not know how to use it. Do you have an example command line that I could try ? Detection of compressed sections relies upon a special bit in the ELF section header flags (SHF_COMPRESSED). Is it possible that oprofile is somehow stripping this bit out, before calling the BFD routines ? Cheers Nick
I use this for callgraphs: operf --vmlinux /usr/src/linux/vmlinux --callgraph ./app_to_be_profiled opreport -c%g -t=0.1% -p=/lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/,/lib/modules/`uname -r`/video/ And this for detailed samples: operf --vmlinux /usr/src/linux/vmlinux ./app_to_be_profiled opreport -gd%rl -t=1% -p=/lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/,/lib/modules/`uname -r`/video/ The app needs no instrumentation other than - of course - debug information and should dynamically link with libc. (OProfile also displays time spent in the kernel, so I added the path to the uncompressed vmlinux and modules.) Hope that helps!
(In reply to Marco Leise from comment #5) Hi Marco, > Hope that helps! Sorry - I have not been able to get anywhere with this. :-( Are you able to test the newer release of the binutils (2.30) to see if the problem exists there too ? My gut feeling is that this is not a binutils bug at all, but that something is producing corrupt dwarf binaries instead. Of course I cannot prove this, which is why I would like to investigate. But so far I cannot reproduce the problem. :-( Cheers Nick
I am actually using a git checkout past 2.30 right now and the issue is still present. What is the command line you use for objdump? I.e. is there a way to make it print source lines for symbols as oprofile would?
(In reply to Marco Leise from comment #7) [Sorry for the long delay in responding...] > I am actually using a git checkout past 2.30 right now and the issue is > still present. Darn. > What is the command line you use for objdump? objdump -W <file> > I.e. is there a > way to make it print source lines for symbols as oprofile would? objdump -WL <file> I doubt if this is the same as oprofile will produce, but both tools will be displaying processed DWARF line number information so they should be roughly equivalent. You can also use "objdump -Wl <file>" (with a lowercase-l rather than an uppercase-L) to see the raw DWARF debug line information. Cheers Nick
Since this is a bug about oprofile, a relevant question is: What version of the bfd library is oprofile using? Note that installing a new binutils with a new libbfd.so will not (and should not) update the version used by oprofile even if oprofile is using a shared libbfd.so. If oprofile is using a libbfd.so shared library and you've forced an update, then all sorts of things can go wrong because the libbfd ABI is not stable..
(In reply to Alan Modra from comment #9) > Since this is a bug about oprofile, a relevant question is: What version of > the bfd library is oprofile using? opreport is linked against libbfd-2.30.0.so and behaves the same when compiled against libbfd-2.29.1. (In reply to Nick Clifton from comment #8) > objdump -WL <file> > > I doubt if this is the same as oprofile will produce, but both tools > will be displaying processed DWARF line number information so they > should be roughly equivalent. The objdump output looks fine. Does that mean the issue has to be in Oprofile?
Yes, this must be an oprofile issue.
