[PATCH] perf symbol: Fail to read phdr workaround
Posted by Ian Rogers 3 years, 8 months ago
The perf jvmti agent doesn't create program headers, in this case
fallback on section headers as happened previously.

Fixes: 882528d2e776 ("perf symbol: Skip symbols if SHF_ALLOC flag is not set")

It's good to change fix tag as:
Fixes: 2d86612aacb7 ("perf symbol: Correct address for bss symbols")

I saw stable kernel maintainers have back ported patch "perf symbol:
Correct address for bss symbols" for stable kernel branches, the
suggested fix tag would allow this patch to be landed on stable kernels
as well.

I think I need to manually send the patch "perf symbol: Skip symbols
if SHF_ALLOC flag is not set" to stable kernel mailing list, this
patch missed fix tag.
