Re: [Question] About UNWIND_HINT_ENTRY on entry_SYSCALL_64.

[Yun Levi]

Thanks Peter and Sorry for the late answer.

I got the same result on the vmlinux.o file when I compiled the recent version.

But when I try to test on some of distribution version of linux, (ex)
debian. and When I try to on vmlinux not on vmlinux.o

I got some different results like below.

$ readelf -Ws /usr/lib/debug/boot/vmlinux-5.18.0-0.deb11.4-amd64 |
grep entry_SYSCALL_64
123448:    ffffffff81a00000 404 NOTYPE GLOBAL DEFAULT 1 entry_SYSCALL_64

$ readelf -WS /usr/lib/debug/boot/vmlinux-5.18.0-0.deb11.4-amd64 | grep "\[1\]"
  [ 1] .text             PROGBITS        ffffffff81000000 200000
c01988 00  AX  0   0 4096

123448: ffffffff81a00000   404 NOTYPE  GLOBAL DEFAULT    1 entry_SYSCALL_64


123448: ffffffff81a00000   404 NOTYPE  GLOBAL DEFAULT    1 entry_SYSCALL_64

$ tools/objtool/objtool --dump=orc
/usr/lib/debug/boot/vmlinux-5.18.0-0.deb11.4-amd64 | grep
"text+a00000"
.text+a00000: sp:(und) bp:(und) type:call end:0

Am I wrong?

Thanks!
