I think it's because of the perf.data contains both 32bit/64bit
threads while perf is only build with local unwind(unwind for
x86_64).
Then I have a simple test for this:
$ file hello_x86_64
hello_x86_64: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV),
dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 3.0.0,
BuildID[sha1]=adc94932cbcb2be80f3b62df530b8c109f40478a, not strippe
$ file hello_i686
hello_i686: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV),
dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 4.5.0, not stripped
$ perf record -o perf.data.x86_64_singlethread hello_x86_64
$ perf record -o perf.data.x86_64_allcpu -a hello_x86_64
$ perf record -o perf.data.i686_singlethread hello_i686
$ perf record -o perf.data.i686_allcpu -a hello_i686
Now I get 4 perf.data files:
ID name 32bit 64bit
1 perf.data.x86_64_singlethread N Y
2 perf.data.x86_64_allcpu N Y
3 perf.data.i686_singlethread Y N
4 perf.data.i686_allcpu Y Y
Because perf only supports local unwind(for x86_64), cases
contain 32bit thread should show the warnings, i.e. case3 and
case4. And perf.data contains only 32bit threads will show nothing
except the warnings while the one contains both 32bit/64bit will
show warnings for 32bit thread and annoate the 64bit thread.
Then check:
$ perf annotate -i perf.data.x86_64_singlethread
Percent | Source code & Disassembly of hello for cycles:pp

$ perf annotate -i perf.data.i686_singlethread
unwind: target platform=x86 is not supported
unwind: target platform=x86 is not supported
unwind: target platform=x86 is not supported
$ perf annotate -i perf.data.i686_allcpu
unwind: target platform=x86 is not supported

: record__mmap_read():
:
: return backward_rb_find_range(data, mask, head, start,
end);
: }
The result is the same as we expected, so if your case matches
the case4, the result is right. But I think we can improve the
warning message for not confusing the users.
Thank you.
