- perf-buildid-cache(1)
- =====================
- NAME
- ----
- perf-buildid-cache - Manage build-id cache.
- SYNOPSIS
- --------
- [verse]
- 'perf buildid-cache <options>'
- DESCRIPTION
- -----------
- This command manages the build-id cache. It can add, remove, update and purge
- files to/from the cache. In the future it should as well set upper limits for
- the space used by the cache, etc.
- OPTIONS
- -------
- -a::
- --add=::
- Add specified file to the cache.
- -k::
- --kcore::
- Add specified kcore file to the cache. For the current host that is
- /proc/kcore which requires root permissions to read. Be aware that
- running 'perf buildid-cache' as root may update root's build-id cache
- not the user's. Use the -v option to see where the file is created.
- Note that the copied file contains only code sections not the whole core
- image. Note also that files "kallsyms" and "modules" must also be in the
- same directory and are also copied. All 3 files are created with read
- permissions for root only. kcore will not be added if there is already a
- kcore in the cache (with the same build-id) that has the same modules at
- the same addresses. Use the -v option to see if a copy of kcore is
- actually made.
- -r::
- --remove=::
- Remove a cached binary which has same build-id of specified file
- from the cache.
- -p::
- --purge=::
- Purge all cached binaries including older caches which have specified
- path from the cache.
- -M::
- --missing=::
- List missing build ids in the cache for the specified file.
- -u::
- --update=::
- Update specified file of the cache. Note that this doesn't remove
- older entires since those may be still needed for annotating old
- (or remote) perf.data. Only if there is already a cache which has
- exactly same build-id, that is replaced by new one. It can be used
- to update kallsyms and kernel dso to vmlinux in order to support
- annotation.
- -v::
- --verbose::
- Be more verbose.
