Latest perf-script doesn't output symbol name when it failed to
resolve symbol name. This output is not friendly for external scripts
because it causes misaligment. So, this patch adds the magic word
"(unknown)" when perf-script failed to resolve symbols.

Code has [unknown] with {}, not ().

Evidently I had the shift key down -- s/{}/[]/. :-) And I see now, for
dsoname you have [unknown] and for symname (unknown). Use the same for
both. Since () is already used for separating dsoname, use [unknown] for
both
At print_sample_start() in builtin-script.c, there is the code that print "(unknown)"
when perf cannnot resolve the event name.

printf("%s: ", evname ? evname : "(unknown)");

On the other hand, at hist_entry__dso_snprintf() in util/sort.c, there is the code
prints "[unknown]" for unresolvable DSO name.

return repsep_snprintf(bf, size, "%-*s", width, "[unknown]");

In addition, perf uses "[]" for DSO name for example "[kernel.kallsyms]".
So, I chose it. However, this specification is not easy for user-scripts.
Should I unify this expression?

Thank you.

David




At the same time, this patch changes perf-script to output "[unknown]"
in the DSO field, when it failed to resolve the path of DSOs.

Changes in v2:
- add this patch

extra tab in the above line.

Otherwise looks good to me.
Oops! I fix it. Thank you.
