[PATCH 2/2] perf archive: Add helper script to package files needed to do analysis

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Date: Fri Jan 15 2010 - 10:18:13 EST

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@xxxxxxxxxx>

It uses 'perf buildid-list --with-hits' to create a tarball with what is
needed to have in the destination machine ~/.debug hierarchy to properly
decode the perf.data file specified.

Here is an example where a perf.data file collected on a x86-64 machine
running Fedora 12 is used and then the data is packaged, transferred and
decoded on a PARISC64 machine running Debian Testing, 32-bit userspace:

Probably the next step is to have 'perf report' notice that there is a
perf.data.tar.bz2 file in the same directory and look if it was already
added to ~/.debug/.
