      perf record: Add record.build-id config option · 7a29c087
      Namhyung Kim 提交于
      Post processing at 'perf record' takes a long time on big machines.
      
      What it does is to find the build-id of binaries found in the event
      stream, so that it can make sure, at 'report' time, that the symtabs (be
      it ELF, kallsyms, etc) being used to resolve symbols are the ones
      matching the binaries found at 'record' time.
      
      Sometimes we just want to skip this processing of events at the end of
      the session to get quicker results, making sure the binaries haven't
      changed from 'record' to 'report' time.
      
      Add a new config option to control this behavior.
      
      The record.build-id config variable can have one of the following
      values:
      
       - cache: post-process data and save/update the binaries into the
                build-id cache (in ~/.debug).  This is the default.
       - no-cache: post-process the data but not update the build-id cache.
                   Same effect as using the -N option.
       - skip: skip post-processing and do not update the cache.
               Same effect as using the -B option.

      perf record: Support custom vmlinux path · 7efe0e03
      He Kuang 提交于
      Make perf-record command support --vmlinux option if BPF_PROLOGUE is on.
      
      'perf record' needs vmlinux as the source of DWARF info to generate
      prologue for BPF programs, so path of vmlinux should be specified.
      
      Short name 'k' has been taken by 'clockid'. This patch skips the short
      option name and uses '--vmlinux' for vmlinux path.
      
      Documentation is also updated.
      
      Test result:
      
      In a production (or broken) environment:
       (by:
        # rm -rf ~/.debug/
        # mv /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/vmlinux /tmp/

       # ./perf record -e ./test_bpf_base.c ls
