Picking one file at random that shows this, I did net/ceph/mon_client.c. The version file that gets generated for that looks like this: __crc_ceph_monc_want_map = 0x3389a57e; __crc_ceph_monc_got_map = 0x707f45a2; __crc_ceph_monc_renew_subs = 0x9842030a; __crc_ceph_monc_wait_osdmap = 0xfe38746d; __crc_ceph_monc_open_session = 0xc9ba8a19; __crc_ceph_monc_do_statfs = 0xe878801b; __crc_ceph_monc_get_version = 0xfaac6ce0; __crc_ceph_monc_get_version_async = 0x3adefe28; __crc_ceph_monc_blacklist_add = 0xee71d0ef; __crc_ceph_monc_init = 0xfce99654; __crc_ceph_monc_stop = 0xb0d197d0; __crc_ceph_monc_validate_auth = 0xce1c6d69; and with the gperf-removal patch, it is 100% identical _except_ that the "__crc_ceph_monc_do_statfs" line is missing. Same hashes for everything else. But one missing line. WTF? What is special about that one particular function vs the other ones in that file? I have absolutely no idea. So the really odd thing here is how things clearly still _work_. The parser works fine for everything else. And looking at the gprof-removal patch it's not at all obvious how everything could work fine except for some random thing. Strange. Does anybody see what the pattern to the failure is?
