perf annotate: Fix hashmap__new() error checking

2026-03-19T15:14:55+00:00

[ Upstream commit bf29cb3641b80bac759c3332b02e0b270e16bf94 ] The hashmap__new() function never returns NULL, it returns error pointers. Fix the error checking to match. Additionally, set src->samples to NULL to prevent any later code from accidentally using the error pointer.

perf annotate: Fix args leak of map_symbol

2026-03-04T12:19:26+00:00

[ Upstream commit 00419892bac28bf148450d762bbff990a6bd5494 ] map_symbol__exit() needs calling on an annotate_args.ms, however, rather than introduce proper reference count handling to symbol__annotate() just switch to passing the map_symbol pointer parameter around, making the puts the caller's responsibility. Fix a number of cases to ensure the map in a map_symbol has a reference count increment and add the then necessary map_symbol_exits.

perf annotate: Skip annotating data types to lea instructions

2025-10-21T13:02:49+00:00

Introduce a helper function is_address_gen_insn() to check arch-dependent address generation instructions like lea in x86. Remove type annotation on these instructions since they are not accessing memory. It should be counted as `no_mem_ops`. Signed-off-by: Zecheng Li Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim

perf annotate: fix a crash when annotate the same symbol with 's' and 'T'

2025-10-21T12:42:01+00:00

When perf report with annotation for a symbol, press 's' and 'T', then exit the annotate browser. Once annotate the same symbol, the annotate browser will crash. The browser.arch was required to be correctly updated when data type feature was enabled by 'T'. Usually it was initialized by symbol__annotate2 function. If a symbol has already been correctly annotated at the first time, it should not call the symbol__annotate2 function again, thus the browser.arch will not get initialized. Then at the second time to show the annotate browser, the data type needs to be displayed but the browser.arch is empty.

perf annotate: Use a hashmap to save type data

2025-09-02T20:14:00+00:00

It can slowdown annotation browser if objdump is processing large DWARF data. Let's add a hashmap to save the data type info for each line. Note that this is needed for TUI only because stdio only processes each line once. TUI will display the same line whenever it refreshes the screen.

2025-08-28T15:35:42+00:00

It'd be great if it can get the correct debug information using DSO build-Id not just the path name. Instead of adding new callsites of debuginfo__new(), let's add dso__debuginfo() which can hide the access using the pathname and help the future conversion.

2025-08-28T15:33:08+00:00

Until now, the --code-with-type option is available only on stdio. But it was an artifical limitation because of an implemention issue. Implement the same logic in annotation_line__write() for stdio2/TUI and remove the limitation and update the man page.
