[PATCH] perf tools: Fix JIT profiling on heap

From: Namhyung Kim
Date: Wed Jan 15 2014 - 20:49:40 EST


Gaurav reported that perf cannot profile JIT program if it executes
the code on heap. This was because current map__new() only handle JIT
on anon mappings - extends it to handle no_dso (heap, stack) case too.

This patch assumes JIT profiling only provides dynamic function
symbols so check the mapping type to distinguish the case. It'd
provide no symbols for data mapping - if we need to support symbols on
data mappings later it should be changed.
