I meet strange behavior with below commands on my gentoo box:
1:perf kmem record
2:CTRL-C to stop 1
3:perf report
4:"Enter", "Enter", "Run scripts for all samples",
"event_analyzing_sample".
Then perf report:
"
No kallsyms or vmlinux with build-id xxxx was found
/lib/modules/4.10.0+/build/vmlinux with build id xxxx not found,
continuing without symbols
".
It is strange because I am sure /lib/modules/4.10.0+/build/vmlinux
is right for perf.data.
After digging, I find out the reason is "perf report" generates many
open fds, then "script_browse" uses popen to run "perf script" which
run out of open files. The gentoo box has a small default value for
"max open files", 1024. Yes, "ulimit -n " with a bigger number could
fix it, but I think that using O_CLOEXEC in do_open is a better way.
