Fell thru the cracks, sorry.

Humm, in the vdso case we have a fallback in thread__find_addr_map, i.e.
its symbol rbtree is empty, we notice that and lookup the symbol in the
kernel symbol tables (vmlinux and modules).

I.e. stack/heap symbols would not apply, this fallback wouldn't happen,
the symbol would be unresolved, the patch then would be just to
map__new, as:

diff --git a/tools/perf/util/map.c b/tools/perf/util/map.c
index a16ecab..0c1c11b 100644
--- a/tools/perf/util/map.c
+++ b/tools/perf/util/map.c
@@ -63,7 +63,9 @@ set_identity:
} else if (strcmp(filename, "[vdso]") == 0) {
dso__set_loaded(dso, self->type);
goto set_identity;
- }
+ } else if (strcmp(filename, "[heap]") == 0 ||
+ strcmp(filename, "[stack]") == 0)
+ dso__set_loaded(dso, self->type);
}
return self;
out_delete:

Right?
