From 6a0e55d85babfccfd976703852ec8bab388b3a10 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Anton Blanchard Date: Tue, 30 Aug 2011 09:15:06 +1000 Subject: perf symbols: Synthesize anonymous mmap events perf_event__synthesize_mmap_events does not create anonymous mmap events even though the kernel does. As a result an already running application with dynamically created code will not get profiled - all samples end up in the unknown bucket. This patch skips any entries with '[' in the name to avoid adding events for special regions (eg the vsyscall page). All other executable mmaps are assumed to be anonymous and an event is synthesized.
