2010-02-04perf top: Teach it to autolocate vmlinuxKirill Smelkov1-1/+1
By relying on logic in dso__load_kernel_sym(), we can automatically load vmlinux. The only thing which needs to be adjusted, is how --sym-annotate option is handled - now we can't rely on vmlinux been loaded until full successful pass of dso__load_vmlinux(), but that's not the case if we'll do sym_filter_entry setup in symbol_filter(). So move this step right after event__process_sample() where we know the whole dso__load_kernel_sym() pass is done. By the way, though conceptually similar `perf top` still can't annotate userspace - see next patches with fixes.

2009-06-06perf_counter tools: Move from Documentation/perf_counter/ to tools/perf/Ingo Molnar1-0/+39
Several people have suggested that 'perf' has become a full-fledged tool that should be moved out of Documentation/. Move it to the (new) tools/ directory.
