6.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 058b38ccd2af9e5c95590b018e8425fa148d7aca ]
Recently we got a case where a kernel sample wasn't being resolved due
to a bug that was not setting the end address on kernel functions
implemented in assembly (see Link: tag), and then those were not being
found by machine__resolve() -> map__find_symbol().
So we ended up with:
# perf top --stdio
PerfTop: 0 irqs/s kernel: 0% exact: 0% lost: 0/0 drop: 0/0 [cycles/P]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Warning:
A vmlinux file was not found.
Kernel samples will not be resolved.
^Z
[1]+ Stopped perf top --stdio
#
But then resolving all other kernel symbols.
So just fixup the logic to only print that warning when there are no
symbols in the kernel map.
Fixes: d88205db9caa0e9d ("perf dso: Add dso__has_symbols() method")
