Subject: [PATCH 00/13] perf tools: Use plain debug files for compressed objects
Date: Fri, 17 Aug 2018 11:48:00 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180817094813.15086-1-jolsa@kernel.org> (raw)

hi,
currently we don't allow to open plain debug files for
compressed kernel module objects, ending up with following
warning:

  $ perf report --stdio
  lzma: failed The input is not in the .xz format
  lzma: failed The input is not in the .xz format
  lzma: failed The input is not in the .xz format
  lzma: failed The input is not in the .xz format
  # To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options.

The reason is behind the logic we open the DSO object files,
when we try all possible 'debug' objects until we find the
data. So even if the DSO is represented by 'krava.xz' module,
we can end up opening ~/.debug/....23432432/debug' file which
is not compressed and we fail with above error.

This patchset adds the code to detect un/compressed files and
return plain debug file when available even for compressed
kernel modules.

thanks,
jirka
