Subject: [PATCHv3 bpf-next 02/13] kallsyms: Skip the name search for empty string
Date: Wed, 16 Mar 2022 13:24:08 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220316122419.933957-3-jolsa@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220316122419.933957-1-jolsa@kernel.org>

When kallsyms_lookup_name is called with empty string,
it will do futile search for it through all the symbols.

Skipping the search for empty string.
