See http://www.infradead.org/rpr.html Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org Precedence: bulk List-ID: X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org From: Wang Nan The cost of buildid cache processing is high: reading all events in output perf.data, opening each elf file to read buildids then copying them into ~/.debug directory. In switch output mode, these heavy works block perf from receiving perf events for too long. Enable no-buildid and no-buildid-cache by default if --switch-output is provided. Still allow user use --no-no-buildid to explicitly enable buildid in this case.
