Subject: [PATCH 1/1 perf-tools-next] perf top: Don't complain about lack of vmlinux when not resolving some kernel samples
Date: Fri, 3 Jan 2025 13:47:19 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <Z3gUl1guIXi4bU0a@x1> (raw)

Recently we got a case where a kernel sample wasn't being resolved due
to a bug that was not setting the end address on kernel functions
implemented in assembly (see Link: tag), and then those were not being
found by machine__resolve() -> map__find_symbol().

So we ended up with:

  # perf top --stdio
  PerfTop: 0 irqs/s  kernel: 0%  exact: 0% lost: 0/0 drop: 0/0 [cycles/P]
  -----------------------------------------------------------------------

  Warning:
  A vmlinux file was not found.
  Kernel samples will not be resolved.
  ^Z
  [1]+  Stopped                 perf top --stdio
  #

But then resolving all other kernel symbols.

So just fixup the logic to only print that warning when there are no
symbols in the kernel map.
