Eric B Munson 70c3856b2f perf symbols: Function descriptor symbol lookup ... Currently symbol resolution does not work for 64-bit programs on architectures that use function descriptors such as ppc64. The problem is that a symbol doesn't point to a text address, it points to a data area that contains (amongst other things) a pointer to the text address. We look for a section called ".opd" which is the function descriptor area. To create the full symbol table, when we see a symbol in the function descriptor section we load the first pointer and use that as the text address.
