perf tools: Check recorded kernel version when finding vmlinux
Currently vmlinux_path__init() only tries to find vmlinux file from current directory, /boot and some canonical directories with version number of the running kernel. This can be a problem when reporting old data recorded on a kernel version not running currently. We can use --symfs option for this but it's annoying for user to do it always. As we already have the info in the perf.data file, it can be changed to use it for the search automatically. Before: $ perf report ... # Samples: 4K of event 'cpu-clock' # Event count (approx.): 1067250000 # # Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol # ........ .......... ................. .............................. 71.87% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] recover_probed_instruction After: # Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol # ........ .......... ................. .................... 71.87% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] native_safe_halt This requires to change signature of symbol__init() to receive struct perf_session_env *.
