    perf symbols: Fixup vsyscall maps · 6275ce2d
    Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
    While debugging a problem reported by Pekka Enberg by printing
    the IP and all the maps for a thread when we don't find a map
    for an IP I noticed that dso__load_sym needs to fixup these
    extra maps it creates to hold symbols in different ELF sections
    than the main kernel one.
    
    Now we're back showing things like:
    
    [root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]# perf report | grep vsyscall
         0.02%             mutt  [kernel.kallsyms].vsyscall_fn  [.] vread_hpet
         0.01%            named  [kernel.kallsyms].vsyscall_fn  [.] vread_hpet
         0.01%   NetworkManager  [kernel.kallsyms].vsyscall_fn  [.] vread_hpet
