In previous patch, I use 'perf buildid-cache -a' to add vdso

So 'perf buildid-cache' needs the symfs option?


With this patch 'PATCH v3 3/7 UPDATE', the tree of symfs dir is
like this:

├── debug($(dso-prefix))

So all binaries we need are included in the symfs dir. I think
this is consistent with your idea explained in previous mails.

With this symfs, we do not need buildid dir anymore and what's
your idea on 'perf buildid-cache' needs symfs option? after all,
that only effects on buildid dir.

I don't understand why dso-prefix option is needed? Why make me type yet more options to the analysis command? Why can't the directory be located under the symfs tree in a known location and populated the same way it is without symfs?
