From 98e9f03bbf2cb21a60f94b8b700eb5d38470819d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Namhyung Kim Date: Thu, 20 Feb 2014 10:32:54 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] perf symbols: Destroy unused symsrcs Stephane reported that perf report and annotate failed to process data using lots of (> 500) shared libraries. It was because of the limit on number of open files (ulimit -n). Currently when perf loads a DSO, it'll look for normal and dynamic symbol tables. And if it fails to find out both tables, it'll iterate all of possible symtab types. But many of them are useless since they have no additional information and the problem is that it's not closing those files even though they're not used. Fix it.
