Does this, for instance, allows one looking at source code + assembly
with debuginfo packages? Is that a usecase you tested this against?

Anyway, sorry for the delay in processing this, fell thru the cracks ;-\

Can you please respin this on top of my current perf/core, at:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux.git

Thanks a lot!

Perhaps it should be generalized a bit? Right now we have symfs for the
location of the tree for binaries. What about a srcfs for a source tree?

That is a good idea indeed.

Hello.

I was motivated to be able to annotate source code, realized out-of-box. More precisely, on a machine A
I run perf record, I moved the report file to machine B and I use these options to annotate source code.

Let's consider source code location

Machine A:
P1=/a/b/c/d/source-files

Machine B:
P2=/x/y/z/source-files

Using just a single option (--objdump-prefix) works, but one how to place source code on machine B to:
/a/b/c/d/x/y/z/source-files

That's quite cumbersome, thus adding second option, one can strip '/a/b/c/d', with --objdump-prefix-strip=4.
Still, no ideal, but it's quite flexible. A new 'srcfs' can used as --objdump-prefix, am I right?

Respun version of patch is attached.

Thanks,
Martin

I guess so, and yeah, the feature implemented in your patch has value,
thanks for collaborating! It is just that it may fit better as a
complement to the --symfs stuff, that is also for off-box analysis:

--symfs=<directory>::
Look for files with symbols relative to this directory.

Thanks, will wait for further discussion before applying,

Hello Arnaldo.

Are we going to wait any longer? It looks there's no discussion effort in this thread ;)

Ah, I see.

I would follow option names starting with --objdump prefix.
