| |
So that we can concentrate on getting more symtabs or on figuring out which files we have to recompile with -g or ask proprietary vendors for graciously ship us rich symtabs.
For instance, shame on me:
[acme@doppio ~]$ perf report -us comm,dso,symbol | head -7 # Samples: 22501 # # Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol # ........ ............ ............................................ ...... # 82.53% npviewer.bin /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so [.] 0x000000003820d7 6.34% skype /opt/skype_static-2.0.0.72/skype [.] 0x00000000e1e0b1
;-)
But the next cset should be rather nice, as I realized that doing:
yum install /usr/lib/debug/<DSO NAME WITH MISSING SYMTAB>.debug
Works!
Now think about a world where:
yum install /usr/lib/debug/<DSO NAME WITH MISSING SYMTAB>.symtab
Works, makes the internet a better place by not downloading whales, oops, debuginfo files full of crap we don't need.
Don't get me wrong, the aforementioned crap has its place in this world, just not for the perf tools, _so far_.
Ah, and replace 'yum' with zypper, apt-get (I tried!), smart, urpmi, whatever-is-your-still-non-standardized way to get needed pieces to do real work.
