[PATCH v3 1/1] perf cs-etm: Add warnings for missing DSOs

From: James Clark <hidden>
Date: 2021-08-05 13:04:19
Also in: linux-arm-kernel, lkml
Subsystem: arm/coresight framework and drivers, performance events subsystem, performance events tooling arm64, the rest · Maintainers: Suzuki K Poulose, Peter Zijlstra, Ingo Molnar, Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo, Namhyung Kim, Linus Torvalds

Currently decode will silently fail if no binary data is available for
the decode. This is made worse if only partial data is available because
the decode will appear to work, but any trace from that missing DSO will
silently not be generated.

Add a UI popup once if there is any data missing, and then warn in the
bottom left for each individual DSO that's missing.
