    perf record: Add option to avoid updating buildid cache · a1ac1d3c
    Stephane Eranian 提交于
    There are situations where there is enough information in the perf.data
    to process the samples. Updating the buildid cache may add unecessary
    overhead in terms of disk space and time (copying large elf images).
    
    A persistent option to do this already exists via the perfconfig file,
    simply do:
    
    [buildid]
    dir = /dev/null
    
    This patch provides a way to suppress builid cache updates on a per-run
    basis.  It addds a new option, -N, to perf record. Buildids are still
    generated in the perf.data file.
