perf probe: Ignore vmlinux buildid if offline kernel is given
Ignore the buildid of running kernel when both of --definition and --vmlinux is given because that kernel should be off-line. This also skips post-processing of kprobe event for relocating symbol and checking blacklist, because it can not be done on off-line kernel. E.g. without this fix perf shows an error as below ---- $ perf probe --vmlinux=./vmlinux-arm --definition do_sys_open ./vmlinux-arm with build id 7a1f76dd56e9c4da707cd3d6333f50748141434b not found, continuing without symbols Failed to find symbol do_sys_open in kernel Error: Failed to add events. ---- with this fix, we can get the definition ---- $ perf probe --vmlinux=./vmlinux-arm --definition do_sys_open p:probe/do_sys_open do_sys_open+0 ---- Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/147214228193.23638.12581984840822162131.stgit@devbox Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
