Doc Text:
*objdump* mixed listing speed up Previously, the BFD library for parsing DWARF debug information and locating source code was very slow. The BFD library is used by the *objdump* tool. As a consequence, *objdump* became significantly slower when producing a mixed listing of source code and disassembly. Performance of the BFD library has been improved. As a result, producing a mixed listing with *objdump* is faster.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
binutils-2.25.1-22.base.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Additional info:

# /usr/bin/time objdump -rdS /usr/bin/ceph-osd >/tmp/obj.dump|head -3

FYI - this problem has been addressed by a patch submitted to the FSF binutils:

https://www.sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2016-11/msg00050.html

Once 7.4 is open for patching I will see about applying it there.
Comment 5 Nick Clifton 2017-01-16 10:28:01 EST 
Patch added.
Comment 7 Miloš Prchlík 2017-05-09 07:02:11 EDT 
Verified using reproducer in the original report, with /usr/bin/ceph-osd binary. The difference in the time spent running between binutils-2.25.1-22.base.el7 and binutils-2.25.1-30.base.el7 is quite significant, -30.base.el7 finishes in cca 500 seconds.
