perf buildid-cache: Add new command to manage build-id cache For now it just has operations to examine a given file, find its build-id and add or remove it to/from the cache. Useful, for instance, when adding binaries sent together with a perf.data file, so that we can add them to the cache and have the tools find it when resolving symbols. It'll also manage the size of the cache like 'ccache' does.

NAME

perf-buildid-cache - Manage build-id cache.
SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
perf inject: Add missing bits New commands need to have Documentation and be added to command-list.txt so that they can appear when 'perf' is called withouth any subcommand: [root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]# perf usage: perf [--version] [--help] COMMAND [ARGS] The most commonly used perf commands are: annotate Read perf.data (created by perf record) and display annotated code archive Create archive with object files with build-ids found in perf.data file bench General framework for benchmark suites buildid-cache Manage build-id cache. buildid-list List the buildids in a perf.data file diff Read two perf.data files and display the differential profile inject Filter to augment the events stream with additional information kmem Tool to trace/measure kernel memory(slab) properties kvm Tool to trace/measure kvm guest os list List all symbolic event types lock Analyze lock events probe Define new dynamic tracepoints record Run a command and record its profile into perf.data report Read perf.data (created by perf record) and display the profile sched Tool to trace/measure scheduler properties (latencies) stat Run a command and gather performance counter statistics test Runs sanity tests. timechart Tool to visualize total system behavior during a workload top System profiling tool. trace Read perf.data (created by perf record) and display trace output See 'perf help COMMAND' for more information on a specific command. [root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]# The new 'perf inject' command hadn't so it wasn't appearing on that list. Also fix the long option, that should have no spaces in it, rename the faulty one to be '--build-ids', instead of '--inject build-ids'.

This command manages the build-id cache. It can add and remove files to/from
the cache. In the future it should as well purge older entries, set upper
limits for the space used by the cache, etc.

OPTIONS
-------
-a::
--add=::
Add specified file to the cache.
perf buildid-cache: Add ability to add kcore to the cache kcore can be used to view the running kernel object code. However, kcore changes as modules are loaded and unloaded, and when the kernel decides to modify its own code. Consequently it is useful to create a copy of kcore at a particular time. Unlike vmlinux, kcore is not unique for a given build-id. And in addition, the kallsyms and modules files are also needed. The tool therefore creates a directory: ~/.debug/[kernel.kcore]/<build-id>/<YYYYmmddHHMMSShh> which contains: kcore, kallsyms and modules. Note that the copied kcore contains only code sections. See the kcore_copy() function for how that is determined. The tool will not make additional copies of kcore if there is already one with the same modules at the same addresses. Currently, perf tools will not look for kcore in the cache. That is addressed in another patch.

-k::
--kcore::
Add specified kcore file to the cache. For the current host that is
/proc/kcore which requires root permissions to read. Be aware that
running 'perf buildid-cache' as root may update root's build-id cache
not the user's. Use the -v option to see where the file is created.
Note that the copied file contains only code sections not the whole core
image. Note also that files "kallsyms" and "modules" must also be in the
same directory and are also copied. All 3 files are created with read
permissions for root only. kcore will not be added if there is already a
kcore in the cache (with the same build-id) that has the same modules at
the same addresses. Use the -v option to see if a copy of kcore is
actually made.

Remove specified file from the cache.
perf buildid-cache: Add option to show build ids that are missing in the cache This will allow to connect with services being put in place by distros such as Fedora, where one can retrieve DSOs by their build-id. Example usage: for buildid in $(perf buildid-cache --missing perf.data | cut -d' ' -f1) ; do echo "trying to get $buildid" wget -q https://darkserver.fedoraproject.org/buildids/$buildid cat $buildid ; echo rm -f $buildid done Now its just a matter of some porcelain to get the details provided by such a service, retrieve the file and use 'perf buildid-cache --add $FILE' to insert it in the cache, then use 'perf report' or 'annotate' that will find the required files in the cache.

-M::
--missing=::
List missing build ids in the cache for the specified file.
perf buildid-cache: Add --update option When adding vmlinux file to build-id cache, it'd be fail since kallsyms dso with a same build-id was already added by perf record. So one needs to remove the kallsyms first to add vmlinux into the cache. Add --update option for doing it at once.

kernel dso to vmlinux in order to support annotation.
