SubjectRe: [PATCH] tools/perf: Increase symbol KSYM_NAME_LEN size
That is 4gb size :S..... I have tried making a dummy program

int tttttt......ttttt (int a, int b){
return a+b;
}

int main(int arg, char *[]argv){
return tttt....tttt(1,2);
}

and it has worked at least until t^16384 both in gcc and in gdb, and I
guess it would have continue working until much more.

Right now, I think we can increase it until 512, to be on the safe
side, and keep it simple. What do you think?

best regards
