perf doesn't provide proper symbol information for specially crafted .debug files. Sometimes .debug file may not have similar program header as runtime ELF file. For example if we generate .debug file using objcopy --only-keep-debug resulting file will not contain .text, .data and other runtime sections. That means corresponding program headers will have zero FileSiz and modified Offset. Example: program header of text section of libxxx.so: Type Offset VirtAddr PhysAddr FileSiz MemSiz Flags Align LOAD 0x00000000003d3000 0x00000000003d3000 0x00000000003d3000 0x000000000055ae80 0x000000000055ae80 R E 0x1000 Same program header after executing: objcopy --only-keep-debug libxxx.so libxxx.so.debug LOAD 0x0000000000001000 0x00000000003d3000 0x00000000003d3000 0x0000000000000000 0x000000000055ae80 R E 0x1000 Offset and FileSiz have been changed. Following formula will not provide correct value, if program header taken from .debug file (syms_ss): sym.st_value -= phdr.p_vaddr - phdr.p_offset; Correct program header information is located inside runtime ELF file (runtime_ss).
