[PATCH 4/5] perf tools: Use machine->root_dir to find /proc/kallsyms

From: Namhyung Kim
Date: Tue Dec 02 2025 - 03:17:09 EST


This is for test functions to find the kallsyms correctly. It can find
the machine from the kernel maps and use its root_dir. This is helpful
to setup fake /proc directory for testing.
