The python binding still doesn't provide symbol resolving facilities,
but the recent addition of the trace_event__register_resolver() function
made it add as a dependency the machine__resolve_kernel_addr() method,
that in turn drags all the symbol resolving code.
The problem:
[root@zoo ~]# perf test -v python
17: Try 'import perf' in python, checking link problems :
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 6853
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: /tmp/build/perf/python/perf.so: undefined symbol: machine__resolve_kernel_addr
test child finished with -1
---- end ----
Try 'import perf' in python, checking link problems: FAILED!
[root@zoo ~]#
Fix it by requiring this function to receive the resolver as a
parameter, just like pevent_register_function_resolver(), i.e. do
not explicitely refer to an object file not included in
tools/perf/util/python-ext-sources.
[root@zoo ~]# perf test python
