Subject[PATCH 70/76] perf symbols: Do not apply symfs for an absolute vmlinux path
Date
From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung.kim@lge.com>

If an user gives both of --symfs and --vmlinux option, the vmlinux will
be searched under the symfs directory. This is somewhat confusing since
vmlinux often lives in kernel build directory or somewhere other than
user space binaries.

So it'd be better not adding symfs prefix for a vmlinux if it has an
absolute pathname.
