Hi - I was reminded by the thread that debuginfo downloading for perf is worth automating more. Since perf uses elfutils, recently-added facilities to elfutils 0.178 (2019-11) already allow automated downloading from some perf code paths. The following patch [2] builds a little bit on that by ensuring that the downloaded debuginfo is plopped into the $HOME/.debug/ hierarchy explicitly, and should cover a few more code paths. Feel free to take / adapt this code as you like. debuginfod can also do source code downloading on the fly, but the perf/util/srccode.c machinery would need buildids passed, and I couldn't quickly figure it out. (Sorry, I also couldn't quickly figure out the perf testsuite.) [1] https://sourceware.org/elfutils/Debuginfod.html [2] Author: Frank Ch. Eigler <fche@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Mar 30 16:15:47 2020 -0400 perf build-ids: fall back to debuginfod query if debuginfo not found During a perf-record, use the -ldebuginfod API to query a debuginfod server, should the debug data not be found in the usual system locations. If successful, the usual $HOME/.debug dir is populated. Signed-off-by: Frank Ch.
