    perf archive: Correct cutting of symbolic link · e3b61933
    Chanho Park 提交于
    If a '$PERF_BUILDID_DIR'(typically $HOME/.debug) is a symbolic link
    directory, cutting of the path will fail.
    
    Here is an example where a buildid directory is a symbolic link.
    
    / # ls -al /root
    lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            13 Mar 26  2012 /root -> opt/home/root
    / # cd ~
    /opt/home/root # perf record -a -g sleep 1
    [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
    [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.322 MB perf.data (~14057 samples) ]
    /opt/home/root # perf archive
    tar: Removing leading `/' from member names
    Now please run:
    
    $ tar xvf perf.data.tar.bz2 -C ~/.debug
    
    wherever you need to run 'perf report' on.
    /opt/home/root # mkdir temp
    /opt/home/root # tar xf perf.data.tar.bz2 -C ./temp
    /opt/home/root # find ./temp -name "*kernel*"
    ./temp/opt/home/root/.debug/[kernel.kallsyms]
    
    -> If successfully cut off the path, [kernel.kallsyms] is located
    in top of the archived file.
    
    This patch enables to cut correctly even if the buildid directory
    is a symbolic link.
