opreport -l produces segmentation fault.

[Koteswararao N. <kne...@mv...>]

Dear Maynard Johnson,

I tested oprofile with oprofile-0.9.8 tool and observed below issue.

{{{

root@xilinx-zynq-le:~# opreport -l
Using /var/lib/oprofile/samples/ for samples directory.
CPU: ARM Cortex-A9, speed 1999 MHz (estimated)
Counted CPU_CYCLES events (CPU cycle) with a unit mask of 0x00 (No unit mask)
count 100000
opreport error: Your version of binutils seems to have a bug.
Read http://oprofile.sf.net/faq/#binutilsbug
}}}

I have gone through the link provided in above output and find patch that
need to be applied to
binutils patch. i attached the patch in this mail.

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=717720&group_id=16191&atid=116191

I am currently, using binutils-2.19 version . Is it ok to simply upgrade
the binutils version to latest available
version and test oprofile ? (or) i can go ahead and apply the patch to
existing binutils and test oprofile.?

Thanks for your information.

Regards
koteswararao.
