From 5baecbcd9c9a2f491afe1369fc22e7363f9c94d5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dima Kogan <dima@secretsauce.net> Date: Mon, 7 Sep 2015 17:34:19 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] perf symbols: we can now read separate debug-info files based on a build ID Recent GDB (at least on a vanilla Debian box) looks for debug information in /usr/lib/debug/.build-id/nn/nnnnnnn where nn/nnnnnn is the build-id of the stripped ELF binary. This is documented here: https://sourceware.org/gdb/onlinedocs/gdb/Separate-Debug-Files.html This was not working in perf because we didn't read the build id until AFTER we searched for the separate debug information file. This patch reads the build ID and THEN does the search.
