Subject: [PATCH v1 3/3] perf annotate: Be robust to annotating without a thread
Date: Wed,  8 Jul 2026 16:46:46 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260708234646.1040003-3-irogers@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260708234646.1040003-1-irogers@google.com>

If a thread isn't given to thread__get_arch try harder to determine
the arch for disassembly. Do this by passing an entire map_symbol and
using fallback paths such as reading the e_machine from a map's
dso. At the same time ensure some other uses of map_symbol thread
don't assume it is non-NULL to avoid segvs.

Tested running perf report without a previous fix to populate the
map_symbol thread field.
