Subject: [PATCH v2 3/8] perf tools: Check system path when check debuginfo
Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2026 18:11:34 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260929011139.53242-4-namhyung@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260929011139.53242-1-namhyung@kernel.org>
The debuginfo__new() has a fallback to try the given path, but it seems
that it can check SYSTEM_PATH_DSO type in the dso__find_dbginfo_type()
instead.
One corner case would be when dso__new() fails in debuginfo__new() but
it should be rare and memory is exhausted. I think it's fine to fail
for that case.
