From de8967214d8ce536161a1ad6538ad1cb82e7428d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Frederic Weisbecker Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2009 04:51:02 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] perf tools: Synthetize the targeted process Don't forget to also synthetize the targeted process from perf record or we'll miss its dso in the events and then we won't be able to deal with its build-id. We are missing it because it is created after the existing synthetized tasks but before the counters are enabled and can send its mapping event.
