[PATCH 11/33] perf tools: Fix missing kernel map load

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Date: Thu Jul 17 2014 - 12:13:52 EST


From: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@xxxxxxxxx>

thread__find_addr_map() falls back to trying the kernel maps if the
address is negative and is not found in userspace maps. As commented in
the code, the kernel maps must be "loaded" before use. This patch
ensures that happens under the fallback condition also.
