CTF format is not cross-platform by design, e.g. it is not guaranteed that data generated by ctfconvert/ctfmerge on one architecture will be successfuly read on another. CTF structures are saved/restored using naive approach. Roughly it looks like: write(fd, &ctf_struct, sizeof(ctf_struct)) read(fd, &ctf_struct, sizeof(ctf_struct)) By sheer luck memory layout of all type-related CTF structures is the same on amd64/i386/mips32/mips64. It's different on ARM though. sparc, ia64, powerpc, and powerpc64 were not tested. So in order to get file compatible with dtrace on ARM it should be compiled on ARM. Alternative solution would be to have "signatures" for every platform and ctfmerge should convert host's reperesentation of CTF structure to target's one using "signature" as template. This patch checks byte order of ELF files used for generating CTF record and makes sure that byte order of data written to resulting files is the same as target's byte order. |
