    perf annotate: Automatically pick up vmlinux in the local directory · 39273ee9
    Ingo Molnar authored
    Right now kernel debug info does not get resolved by default, because
    we dont know where to look for the vmlinux.
    
    The -k option can be used for that - but if no option is given, pick
    up vmlinux files in the current directory - in case a kernel hacker
    runs profiling from the source directory that the kernel was built in.
    
    The real solution would be to embedd the location (and perhaps the
    date/timestamp) of the vmlinux file in /proc/kallsyms, so that
    tools can pick it up automatically.
