perf annotate: Properly notify the user that vmlinux is missing
Before this patch we would not find a vmlinux, then try to pass
objdump "[kernel.kallsyms]" as the filename, it would get
confused and produce no output:
[root@doppio ~]# perf annotate n_tty_write
------------------------------------------------
Percent | Source code & Disassembly of [kernel.kallsyms]
------------------------------------------------
Now we check that and emit meaningful warning:
[root@doppio ~]# perf annotate n_tty_write
Can't annotate n_tty_write: No vmlinux file was found in the
path: [0] vmlinux
[1] /boot/vmlinux
[2] /boot/vmlinux-2.6.34-rc1-tip+
[3] /lib/modules/2.6.34-rc1-tip+/build/vmlinux
[4] /usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/2.6.34-rc1-tip+/vmlinux
[root@doppio ~]#
This bug was introduced when we added automatic search for
vmlinux, before that time the user had to specify a vmlinux
file.
v2: Print the warning just for the first symbol found when no
symbol name is specified, otherwise it will spam the screen
repeating the warning for each symbol.
