From ef12a141306c90336a3a10d40213ecd98624d274 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Date: Wed, 20 Jan 2010 15:28:45 -0200 Subject: perf buildid-cache: Add new command to manage build-id cache MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit 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.
