    perf top: Properly notify the user that vmlinux is missing · b0a9ab62
    Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
    Before this patch this message would very briefly appear on the
    screen and then the screen would get updates only on the top,
    for number of interrupts received, etc, but no annotation would
    be performed:
    
     [root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]# perf top -s n_tty_write > /tmp/bla
     objdump: '[kernel.kallsyms]': No such file
    
    Now this is what the user gets:
    
     [root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]# perf top -s n_tty_write
     Can't annotate n_tty_write: No vmlinux file was found in the
     path: [0] vmlinux
     [1] /boot/vmlinux
     [2] /boot/vmlinux-2.6.33-rc5
     [3] /lib/modules/2.6.33-rc5/build/vmlinux
     [4] /usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/2.6.33-rc5/vmlinux
     [root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]#
    
    This bug was introduced when we added automatic search for
    vmlinux, before that time the user had to specify a vmlinux
    file.
