perf top: Don't stop if no kernel symtab is found
We now just warn the user about the fact and go on providing just userspace samples. This fixes a problem when no vmlinux is explicetely passed by the user, thus symbol_conf.vmlinux_name is NULL, no suitable vmlinux is found, and then we get: aldebaran:~> perf top -p 7557 [kernel.kallsyms] with build id 44d9a989eabbd79e486bc079d6b743d397c204e0 not found, continuing without symbols The (null) file can't be used Reported-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Cc: Tom Zanussi <tzanussi@gmail.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-cj2g81hn64wv2bipmqk4fy2m@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
