This needs a text disassembler. The PT decoder doesn't have a disassembler unfortunately. The kernel instruction decoder is also not a text disassembler. Changing it to do that would be a quite large project. > It would be great if we could, if done that way, perhaps at some point > we could stop using objdump somehow :-\ objdump does a lot of work to line up the source code correctly. Reproducing it would be a lot of work in perf too, and need large scales changes. Perhaps at some time, but not any time soon. -Andi
