Subject: perf symbols: Filter samples with unresolved symbol when "--symbols" option is used
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1500b93b61fc70a1176871b64f1c8ae3bd4da9dd;p=linux-beck.git

perf symbols: Filter samples with unresolved symbol when "--symbols" option is used

Report/top commands support to only handle specific symbols with
"--symbols" option, but current code will keep those samples whose
symbol can't be resolved, which should actually be filtered.

If we run following commands:
$perf record -a tree
$perf report --symbols intel_idle -n
the output will be:
