P85 BusyBox symbol profile

P85 taught the profiler about userspace ELF symbols. The input is still the P84 shell workload, but now samples between shell_start and file_ok are resolved against BusyBox’s busybox_unstripped sidecar.

Filtered window:

markercycle
shell_start159,733,543
file_ok239,533,859

Top profile rows:

bucketfunctionsamplespct
busyboxprintf_core3,7184.77%
kernelmemset3,3474.29%
kernelvruntime_eligible2,9543.79%
busyboxmemcpy2,4043.08%
kerneln_tty_write2,0282.60%
busybox__fwritex1,7632.26%

Status: PASS for userspace symbolization and site data staging. True stack unwinding is NOT RUN. Per-PID symbol identity is PARTIAL because the sample stream does not include the current process.
