    perf tools: Fix prefix matching for kernel maps · bf32c9eb
    Jiri Olsa authored
    In some perf ancient versions we used '[kernel.kallsyms._text]' as the
    name for the kernel map.
    
    This got changed with commit:
      perf: 'perf kvm' tool for monitoring guest performance from host
      commit a1645ce1
      Author: Zhang, Yanmin <yanmin_zhang@linux.intel.com>
    
    and we started to use following name '[kernel.kallsyms]_text'.
    
    This name change is important for the report code dealing with ancient
    perf data. When processing the kernel map event, we need to recognize
    the old naming (dont match the last ']') and initialize the kernel map
    correctly.
    
    The subsequent call to maps__set_kallsyms_ref_reloc_sym deals with the
    superfluous ']' to get correct symbol name.
