From 09600e0f9ebb06235b852a646a3644b7d4a71aca Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Namhyung Kim Date: Tue, 15 Oct 2013 11:01:56 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] perf tools: Compare dso's also when comparing symbols Linus reported that sometimes 'perf report -s symbol' exits without any message on TUI. David and Jiri found that it's because it failed to add a hist entry due to an invalid symbol length. It turns out that sorting by symbol (address) was broken since it only compares symbol addresses. The symbol address is a relative address within a dso thus just checking its address can result in merging unrelated symbols together. Fix it by checking dso before comparing symbol address.
