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.
