This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled perf tests: Decompress kernel module before objdump to the 4.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: perf-tests-decompress-kernel-module-before-objdump.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From foo@baz Tue Apr 10 10:31:53 CEST 2018 From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 8 Jun 2017 16:31:07 +0900 Subject: perf tests: Decompress kernel module before objdump From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 94df1040b1e6aacd8dec0ba3c61d7e77cd695f26 ] If a kernel modules is compressed, it should be decompressed before running objdump to parse binary data correctly. This fixes a failure of object code reading test for me.
