Date: Mon, 15 Mar 2010 12:43:33 -0300 From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@...radead.org> To: Ingo Molnar <mingo@...e.hu> Cc: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@...hat.com>, stable@...nel.org, Frédéric Weisbecker <fweisbec@...il.com>, Mike Galbraith <efault@....de>, Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@...llo.nl>, Paul Mackerras <paulus@...ba.org> Subject: [PATCH 1/1] perf annotate: Properly notify the user that vmlinux is missing From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@...hat.com> Before this patch we would not find a vmlinux, then try to pass objdump "[kernel.kallsyms]" as the filename, it would get confused and produce no output: [root@...pio ~]# perf annotate n_tty_write ------------------------------------------------ Percent | Source code & Disassembly of [kernel.kallsyms] ------------------------------------------------ Now we check that and emit meaningful warning: [root@...pio ~]# perf annotate n_tty_write Can't annotate n_tty_write: No vmlinux file was found in the path: [0] vmlinux [1] /boot/vmlinux [2] /boot/vmlinux-2.6.34-rc1-tip+ [3] /lib/modules/2.6.34-rc1-tip+/build/vmlinux [4] /usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/2.6.34-rc1-tip+/vmlinux [root@...pio ~]# This bug was introduced when we added automatic search for vmlinux, before that time the user had to specify a vmlinux file.
