[PATCH 1/2] perf, tools: Fix crash while reading old perf.data

[Andi Kleen]

From: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

In some cases when reading perf.data generated by much
older perf I got segfaults with dso->long_name being zero.
This patch fixes them for me.

Haven't tracked down the exact cause. I assume it's
some error path that doesn't set it.

[PATCH 2/2] perf, tools: Allow to force redirect pr_debug to stderr.

[Andi Kleen]

From: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

When debugging the tui browser I find it useful to
redirect the debug log into a file. Currently it's always
forced to the message line.

Add an option to force it to stderr. Then it can be
easily redirected.

Any chance this patch fixies it for you?

perf tools: Allow to force redirect pr_debug to stderr.

When debugging the tui browser I find it useful to redirect the debug
log into a file. Currently it's always forced to the message line.

Add an option to force it to stderr. Then it can be easily redirected.

Example:

  [root@zoo ~]# perf --debug stderr report -vv 2> /tmp/debug
  [root@zoo ~]# tail /tmp/debug
  dso open failed, mmap: No such file or directory
  dso open failed, mmap: No such file or directory
  dso open failed, mmap: No such file or directory
  dso open failed, mmap: No such file or directory
  dso open failed, mmap: No such file or directory
  Using /root/.debug/.build-id/4e/841948927029fb650132253642d5dbb2c1fb93 for symbols
