From 70162138c91b040da3162fe1f34fe8aaf6506f10 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Date: Tue, 30 Mar 2010 18:27:39 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] perf record: Add a fallback to the reference relocation symbol MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Usually "_text" is enough, but I received reports that its not always available, so fallback to "_stext" for the symbol we use to check if we need to apply any relocation to all the symbols in the kernel symtab, for when, for instance, kexec is being used.
