From 680d926a8cb08dd9cf173e2bb93d4a4477771949 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Namhyung Kim Date: Fri, 6 Mar 2015 16:31:27 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] perf symbols: Allow symbol alias when loading map for symbol name When perf probe tries to add a probe in a binary using symbol name, it sometimes failed since some symbols were discard during loading dso. When it resolves an address to symbol, it'd be better to have just one symbol at given address. But for finding address from symbol, it'd be better to keep all names (including aliases). So allow tools to state that they want to allow aliases via symbol_conf.allow_aliases.
