The perf-kvm --guestmount option fails.
Issue
- The man page of perk-kvm introduces 'perf kvm record' command like below:
SYNOPSIS
perf kvm [--host] [--guest] [--guestmount=<path>
[--guestkallsyms=<path> --guestmodules=<path> | --guestvmlinux=<path>]]
{top|record|report|diff|buildid-list}
perf kvm [--host] [--guest] [--guestkallsyms=<path> --guestmodules=<path>
| --guestvmlinux=<path>] {top|record|report|diff|buildid-list|stat}
- Actually, after we execute command:
perf kvm --guest \
--guestkallsyms=/tmp/guest.kallsyms
--guestmodules=/tmp/guest.modules record
-a
-o /tmp/perf.data sleep 60
No buildid information was recorded in /tmp/perf.data
- "perf buildid-list -i /tmp/perf.data" shows nothing.
- Is this behavior either a bug of perf or a bug of manual?
