[PATCH 14/14] perf annotate: ARM support

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Date: Mon Dec 07 2015 - 17:18:04 EST


From: Russell King <rmk+kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Add basic support to parse ARM assembly.

This:

* enables perf to correctly show the disassembly, rather than chopping
some constants off at the '#' (which is not a comment character on
ARM).

* allows perf to identify ARM instructions that branch to other parts
within the same function, thereby properly annotating them.

* allows perf to identify function calls, allowing called functions to
be followed in the annotated view.
