Subject: [patch] perf_counter tools: fix vmlinux symbol generation breakage
Date: Mon, 20 Jul 2009 14:01:38 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1248091298.18702.18.camel@marge.simson.net> (raw)

(resend.. wrong lkml address)


perf_counter tools: fix vmlinux symbol generation breakage.

vmlinux meets the criteria for symbol adjustment, which breaks vmlinux generated symbols.
Fix this by exempting vmlinux.  This is a bit fragile in that someone could change the
kernel dso's name, but currently that name is also hardwired.
