Hi Ingo,

Please pull from:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux-2.6 perf

I still have to make it cache vmlinux files instead of always caching
kallsyms, so that users can select it via .perfconfig the tradeof .debug/ disk
space versus offline/precise (build-id verified) annotate ability for kernel
symbols.

But one can use another seldom used perf command to workaround this
situation, buildid-cache, by doing:

perf buildid-cache -r /path/to/vmlinux
perf buildid-cache -a /path/to/vmlinux

The first one will read the build-id in /path/to/vmlinux, and remove
the symlink from the cache, the second will add the vmlinux file to the cache
and make the symlink to it, so that 'perf archive' will package the right
vmlinux and then offline annotation should work as expected.

Regards,

- Arnaldo
