Subject: [PATCH v2 06/10] perf tools: Factor out dso__find_binary_type()
Date: Tue, 6 Oct 2026 16:43:10 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261006234315.920817-7-namhyung@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261006234315.920817-1-namhyung@kernel.org>
Separate out the logic to detect binary type of a DSO. It checks if the
candidate file contains ".text" section. It should be called under the
_dso__data_open_lock.
Introduce bintype_searched flag and it accessors to prevent repeated
(failed) search.
