Subject: perf symbols: Use only --vmlinux if specified
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.34-rc1~197^2~105
X-Git-Url: https://openfabrics.org/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=dc8d6ab2b61a2d92b5d7438565ccd20b29724cb2;p=~shefty%2Frdma-dev.git

perf symbols: Use only --vmlinux if specified

Found while analysing a perf.data file collected on an ARM
machine where an explicitely specified vmlinux was being
disregarded.
