[PATCH 01/12] perf tools: Demangle kernel and kernel module symbols too

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Date: Fri Jan 31 2014 - 15:28:04 EST


From: Avi Kivity <avi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Some kernels contain C++ code, and thus their symbols need to be
demangled. This allows 'perf kvm top' to generate readable output.
