Date: Fri, 25 Jul 2014 10:31:48 +0900 From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@...nel.org> To: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@...nel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@...llo.nl>, Ingo Molnar <mingo@...nel.org>, Paul Mackerras <paulus@...ba.org>, Namhyung Kim <namhyung.kim@....com>, Namhyung Kim <namhyung@...nel.org>, LKML <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org>, Jiri Olsa <jolsa@...hat.com>, David Ahern <dsahern@...il.com>, Minchan Kim <minchan@...nel.org> Subject: [PATCH 2/2] perf tools: Check validity of --symfs value If a symfs is given by user, it needs to be checked before applying. Currently, it just uses it even if realpath() failed. I guess it's because it needed to handle empty symfs which is the default value. But now it's only called when it's not empty so it'd be better to check before using it and warn users if failed.
