perf2bolt Assertion when bolt MySQL

[valuenumbering]

I tried bolt to optimize mysql, using GCC 10.2.1 and adding -Wl, -q on Intel platform. But perf2bolt asserted!
Perf version: 4.14.105-1

1. $ perf record -e cycles:u -j any,u
2. $ perf2bolt -p /data/perf_data/perf.data -o perf.fdata mysqld

But I try a simple helloworld program, it is OK.
Can anyone know how to debug the issue?

Hi @valuenumbering!
I would guess the reason for that assertion is GCC-style split jump tables with entries pointing to the function and the cold fragment.
Did you enable the following gcc flag: -fno-reorder-blocks-and-partition?
If that doesn't fix the issue, please share the exact steps to build mysqld binary.

Hi @aaupov,
It is OK with -fno-reorder-blocks-and-partition. Thanks a ton!!
Could you help another issue ? :). #264

[aaupov]

Great!
I've left the comment in #264. Closing this one.
