perf annotate: Properly notify the user that vmlinux is missing
Before this patch we would not find a vmlinux, then try to pass objdump "[kernel.kallsyms]" as the filename, it would get confused and produce no output: [root@doppio ~]# perf annotate n_tty_write ------------------------------------------------ Percent | Source code & Disassembly of [kernel.kallsyms] ------------------------------------------------ Now we check that and emit meaningful warning: [root@doppio ~]# perf annotate n_tty_write Can't annotate n_tty_write: No vmlinux file was found in the path: [0] vmlinux [1] /boot/vmlinux [2] /boot/vmlinux-2.6.34-rc1-tip+ [3] /lib/modules/2.6.34-rc1-tip+/build/vmlinux [4] /usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/2.6.34-rc1-tip+/vmlinux [root@doppio ~]# This bug was introduced when we added automatic search for vmlinux, before that time the user had to specify a vmlinux file. v2: Print the warning just for the first symbol found when no symbol name is specified, otherwise it will spam the screen repeating the warning for each symbol.
