mainlining shenanigans
Milian Wolff found a problem he described in [1] and that for him would get fixed: "Note how most of the large offset values are now gone. Most notably, we get proper srcline resolution for the random.h and complex headers." Then Namhyung found the root cause: "I looked into it and found a bug handling cumulative (children) entries. For children entries that have no self period, the al->addr (so he->ip) ends up having an doubly-mapped address. It seems to be there from the beginning but only affects entries that have no srclines - finding srcline itself is done using a different address but it will show the invalid address if no srcline was found. I think we should fix the commit |

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
