[PATCH 2/2] x86_64: Correct the identifier when locating the call instruction

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The previous implementation to locate the call instruction is
to strstr "call", then check whether the previous char is ' '
or '\t'. The implementation is problematic. For example it
cannot resolve the following disassembly string:

"0xffffffffc06e6399 <nfs_callback_up+118>:\tcall   0xffffffff9ac8792f <printk>"

strstr will locate the "_call" and char check fails,
as a result, extract_hex fail to get the calling address.

This patch fix the issue by strstr "\tcall" and " call", to
locate the correct call instruction.
