This test occasionally fails on aarch64 when a sample is taken in
free@plt and it fails with "Bytes read differ from those read by
objdump".
This is because that symbol is near a section boundary in the elf file.
Despite the -z option to always output zeros, objdump uses
bfd_map_over_sections() to iterate through the elf file so it doesn't
see outside of the sections where these zeros are and can't print them.
For example this boundary proceeds free@plt in libc with a gap of 48
bytes between .plt and .text:
objdump -d -z --start-address=0x23cc8 --stop-address=0x23d08 libc-2.30.so
libc-2.30.so: file format elf64-littleaarch64
Disassembly of section .plt:
0000000000023cc8 <*ABS*+0x7fd00@plt+0x8>:
23cc8: 91018210 add x16, x16, #0x60
23ccc: d61f0220 br x17
Disassembly of section .text:
0000000000023d00 <abort@@GLIBC_2.17-0x98>:
23d00: a9bf7bfd stp x29, x30, [sp, #-16]!
23d04: 910003fd mov x29, sp
Taking a sample in free@plt is very rare because it is so small, but the
test can be forced to fail almost every time on any platform by linking
the test with a shared library that has a single empty function and
calling it in a loop.
The fix is to zero the buffers so that when there is a jump in the
addresses output by objdump, zeros are already filled in between.
