[PATCH] perf tools: add prelink suggestion to dso update message

From: David Ahern
Date: Tue Oct 18 2011 - 20:45:14 EST


Following a prelink run mapped files for long running processes
can show as deleted. The current message suggests restarting
long running processes. Add to that a suggestion that prelink
might be the cause.

Old message:
/lib64/libc-2.14.so was updated, restart the long running
apps that use it!

New message:
/lib64/libc-2.14.so was updated (is prelink enabled?).
Restart the long running apps that use it!
