    perf annotate: LLVM-based disassembler · 04885681
    Steinar H. Gunderson authored
    Support using LLVM as a disassembler method, allowing helperless
    annotation in non-distro builds. (It is also much faster than
    using libbfd or bfd objdump on binaries with a lot of debug
    information.)
    
    This is nearly identical to the output of llvm-objdump; there are
    some very rare whitespace differences, some minor changes to demangling
    (since we use perf's regular demangling and not LLVM's own) and
    the occasional case where llvm-objdump makes a different choice
    when multiple symbols share the same address.
    
    It should work across all of LLVM's supported architectures, although
    I've only tested 64-bit x86, and finding the right triple from perf's
    idea of machine architecture can sometimes be a bit tricky. Ideally, we
    should have some way of finding the triplet just from the file itself.
    
    Committer notes:
    
    Address this on 32-bit systems by using PRIu64 from inttypes.h
