From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung....@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.
