Ok. I removed.

In which case the above is not needed.

Changed. I presume you meant: symbol_conf.symfs[0]  -- ie., element 0
has something other than '\0' which means strlen > 0

Declaring symfs_vmlinux on the stack is consistent with other PATH_MAX
declarations within perf, and especially within util/symbol.c.

changed that strlen as well.

Done.


I also added the symfs option to the Documentation files. Will send an
updated patch.
