Subject[PATCH 1/1] perf annotate: Properly notify the user that vmlinux is missing
Date
From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

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.
