From 8413239bfc9e8b94af509c7a43c7d92bd8965630 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Anton Blanchard Date: Wed, 24 Aug 2011 16:40:14 +1000 Subject: perf symbols: Fix ppc64 SEGV in dso__load_sym with debuginfo files commit adb091846318f86e4f46c7d6a7b40d2f478abdbe upstream. 64bit PowerPC debuginfo files have an empty function descriptor section. I hit a SEGV when perf tried to use this section for symbol resolution. To fix this we need to check the section is valid and we can do this by checking for type SHT_PROGBITS.
