Subject: [PATCH] perf record: Add option to avoid updating buildid cache
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

There are situations where there is enough information in the perf.data
to process the samples. Updating the buildid cache may add unecessary
overhead in terms of disk space and time (copying large elf images).

A persistent option to do this already exists via the perfconfig file,
simply do:

[buildid]
dir = /dev/null

This patch provides a way to suppress builid cache updates on a per-run
basis.  It addds a new option, -N, to perf record. Buildids are still
generated in the perf.data file.
