From: Avi Kivity Date: Sat, 13 Sep 2014 04:15:05 +0000 (+0300) Subject: perf tools: Disable kernel symbol demangling by default X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=763122ade725592402190f5ff3b8d2edf42b87e8;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git perf tools: Disable kernel symbol demangling by default Some Linux symbols (for example __vt_event_wait) are interpreted by the demangler as C++ mangled names, which of course they aren't. Disable kernel symbol demangling by default to avoid this, and allow enabling it with a new option --demangle-kernel for those who wish it.
