Subject: [PATCH] perf tools: Don't try to lookup objdump for live mode
Date: Wed,  7 Nov 2012 10:30:15 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1352251815-12615-1-git-send-email-namhyung@kernel.org> (raw)

From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung.kim@lge.com>

Arnaldo reported that annotation during perf top resulted in a
segfault.  It was because the env->arch was NULL and we don't set it
for a live session.  In fact, no need to look up objdump in this case
since we can use system's default (native) objdump.
