You could do it at 'perf list' time or even build time and cache it.

Lazy discovery at 'perf record'-time from executable and DSOs should make that transparent to the user, no? I'm pretty sure it will be fast enough with content-adressed cache. - Pekka-- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
