I only can say that the 'perf script' has loaded symbol list by the
option '--kallsyms ./System.map'. Here have one corner case is for
option '-k vmlinux', at my side I build 'perf' tool without linking
libelf, so perf cannot directly parse kernel symbol. If the perf
tool is built with linking libelf, then we can directly load kernel
symbol mapping from vmlinux and don't need specifiy option
'--kallsyms ./System.map' anymore.
Could you point which perf code will pass vmlinux mapping to the
decoder? I don't know this before. After some debugging I only found
perf relies on OpenCSD to return back OCSD_GEN_TRC_ELEM_INSTR_RANGE
and then perf will do symbol/sym_off analysis, otherwise it will skip
symbol analysis.
BTW, I use the same 'perf script' command with OpenCSD v0.7.5, it
can return back OCSD_GEN_TRC_ELEM_INSTR_RANGE but not
OCSD_GEN_TRC_ELEM_ADDR_NACC so it can print out kernel symbol, this
is for using the same perf.data and vmlinux files.
Thanks,
