      perf tools: Add perf-with-kcore script · c501e90b
      Adrian Hunter authored
      
      Decoding an Intel PT trace of the kernel requires an accurate kernel
      object image.  This is provided by making a copy of kcore.  However the
      copy needs to be made under the same conditions as the original
      recording, and then it needs to be associated with the perf.data file.
      The perf-with-kcore script does that.
      
      The script also checks the permissions on the buildid cache and can be
      used to fix them.  That is needed for distributions where root does not
      have a home directory and consequently writes to the same buildid cache
      as the user, resulting in cached files that the user does not have
      access to.
      
      Example:
      
      $ ./perf-with-kcore
      Usage: perf-with-kcore <perf sub-command> <perf.data directory> [<sub-command options> [ -- <workload>]]
             <perf sub-command> can be record, script, report or inject
         or: perf-with-kcore fix_buildid_cache_permissions
      $ ./perf-with-kcore record pt_uname -e intel_pt// -- uname
      Recording
      Using /home/ahunter/bin/perf
      perf version 3.15.rc3.g4549ba
      /home/ahunter/bin/perf record -o pt_uname/perf.data -e intel_pt//  -- uname
      Linux
      [ perf record: Woken up 3 times to write data ]
      [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.023 MB pt_uname/perf.data ]
