Hi,
I am trying to understand how perf record deals with buildids.
I am interested in offline and not live processing. According
to http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/5/1/5, the inject patch does not
change perf record. It should still save the buildids at the
end of the perf.data file. I suspect it does not anymore.
If I do:
$ perf record -o - noploop 2 | perf inject -b | perf report -v -i -
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.063 MB - (~2756 samples) ]
build id event received for
/lib/modules/2.6.34-tip-default+/build/vmlinux:
0ad6b5dd1295e0177be9d12acafa72daac664ee7
Looking at the vmlinux_path (5 entries long)
Using /lib/modules/2.6.34-tip-default+/build/vmlinux for symbols
build id event received for /usr/local/bin/noploop:
e8a36c0c1e36e18522233ff2a4b1fff0f9689b1c
There is indeed a buildid generated for my noploop test program.
But I do the simpler:
$ perf record -o perf.out noploop 2
noploop for 2 seconds
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.063 MB perf.out (~2739 samples) ]
$ perf buildid-list -i perf.out
$
I get nothing.
If I try with perf report -D:
$ perf report -D -i perf.out
.....
TOTAL events: 2011
MMAP events: 21
LOST events: 0
COMM events: 1
EXIT events: 1
THROTTLE events: 0
UNTHROTTLE events: 0
FORK events: 0
READ events: 0
SAMPLE events: 1988
ATTR events: 0
EVENT_TYPE events: 0
TRACING_DATA events: 0
BUILD_ID events: 0
It shows no buildid events found.
So either something is broken or I don't understand the logic here.
