[PATCH perf/core v4 03/19] perf buildid-cache: Fall back to the old style build-id cache

From: Masami Hiramatsu
Date: Tue Apr 26 2016 - 05:02:49 EST


Fall back to the old style build-id cache
(~/.debug/<path-to-bin>/<build-id>) if possible.
Because there is old build-id cache under ~/.debug, perf
has to check if the old entry is there instead of returning
an error. Or, user have to remove ~/.debug completely.

This patch introduces fallback code to try using old-style
buildid caches. To update the cached entry, you just need to
add a cache. It automatically removes old cache entry and
make a new one in new style
(~/.debug/<path-to-bin>/<build-id>/[elf|vdso|kallsyms]).

IOW, without this patch, "perf buildid-cache --add" always
gets errors when adding existing binaries.
----
# perf buildid-cache -a /usr/lib64/libc-2.20.so,/usr/bin/gcc
Couldn't add /usr/bin/gcc: Not a directory
Couldn't add /usr/lib64/libc-2.20.so: Not a directory
----
Moreover, --update option removes only symlink, thus the
build-id cache is corrupted.

This fixes above issues.
