From 68566a7cf56bf3148797c218ed45a9de078ef47c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Adrian Hunter Date: Mon, 11 Jul 2022 12:31:44 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] perf tools: Fix dso_id inode generation comparison Synthesized MMAP events have zero ino_generation, so do not compare them to DSOs with a real ino_generation otherwise we end up with a DSO without a build id.
