    perf script: Switch from perf.data's kallsyms to perf's symbol resolver · ccb3a829
    Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 提交于
    We were storing a copy of kallsyms inside perf.data file so that we
    could resolve kernel addresses to function (start, name, mod) tuples,
    but that can be achieved using the symbol resolving routines we have
    in symbols.c, and that are used elsewhere in tools/perf.
    
    So, do just like 'perf trace' did and ask libtraceevent to use perf's
    symbol resolution routines.
    
    The next step is to just skip whatever kallsyms data is embedded in
    older perf.data files and finally to stop storing kallsyms in the perf
    data file, as the 20-bytes build-id stored in perf.data's header is
    enough to find out the right symtab (be it ELF, kcore, kallsyms, etc) to
    use.
