It adds support infrastructure for path discovery, load address lookup, and symbol generation of live kernel modules. TODO includes resurrection of live annotation in perf top, and support for annotation and report generation of other than live modules. As the patch set sits, Perf top can generate symbols from live binaries, but there's no live annotation capability yet. patch1: perf_counter tools: Make symbol loading consistently return number of loaded symbols. patch2: perf_counter tools: Add infrastructure to support loading of kernel module symbols patch3: perf_counter tools: connect module support infrastructure to symbol loading infrastructure patch4: perf_counter tools: Enable kernel module symbol loading in tools Comments and suggestions most welcome. -Mike -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
