While using perf top for MozillaThunderbird I noticed quite some slow dissably call with source code involved. E.g. time ./objdump --start-address=0x0000000004e0dcd0 --stop-address=0x0000000004e0df8b -l -d --no-show-raw-insn -S -C /usr/lib64/thunderbird/libxul.so took 2.071s and I noticed quite some time is spent in find_abstract_instance: 33.46% objdump objdump [.] find_abstract_instance 18.22% objdump objdump [.] arange_add 13.77% objdump objdump [.] read_attribute_value 4.82% objdump objdump [.] comp_unit_maybe_decode_line_info 3.10% objdump libc.so.6 [.] __memset_avx2_unaligned_erms where linked list of CU is iterated when searing for where info_ptr belongs to: : 3452 for (u = unit->prev_unit; u != NULL; u = u->prev_unit) 0.00 : 4c61f7: mov 0x10(%rbx),%rax 0.00 : 4c61fb: test %rax,%rax 0.00 : 4c61fe: je 4c6215 <find_abstract_instance+0x365> : 3453 if (info_ptr >= u->info_ptr_unit && info_ptr < u->end_ptr) 0.00 : 4c6200: cmp 0x60(%rax),%rdx 83.20 : 4c6204: jb 4c620c <find_abstract_instance+0x35c> 0.00 : 4c6206: cmp 0x78(%rax),%rdx 6.89 : 4c620a: jb 4c6270 <find_abstract_instance+0x3c0> : 3452 for (u = unit->prev_unit; u != NULL; u = u->prev_unit) 0.00 : 4c620c: mov 0x10(%rax),%rax 7.90 : 4c6210: test %rax,%rax 0.00 : 4c6213: jne 4c6200 <find_abstract_instance+0x350> The following scan can be replaced with search in a splay tree and with that I can get to 1.5s and there are other symbols where the difference is even bigger. bfd/ChangeLog: PR 29081 * dwarf2.c (struct addr_range): New. (addr_range_intersects): Likewise. (splay_tree_compare_addr_range): Likewise. (splay_tree_free_addr_range): Likewise. (struct dwarf2_debug_file): Add comp_unit_tree. (find_abstract_instance): Use the splay tree when searching for a info_ptr. (stash_comp_unit): Insert to the splay tree. (_bfd_dwarf2_cleanup_debug_info): Clean up the splay tree.

README for GNU development tools This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation. If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README. If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release, see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc. It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein, run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.: ./configure make To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc), then do: make install (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor, and OS.) If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): CC=gcc ./configure make A similar example using csh: setenv CC gcc ./configure make Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the file COPYING or COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.
