This extends that to ignore build-id when -n/--dry-run is used. This way we can gather probe information for offline kernels using the method Brendan Gregg mentions in this post: http://www.brendangregg.com/blog/2014-09-11/perf-kernel-line-tracing.html .Sorry, NAK. Could you use -D (--definition) for that usage? It directly gives you the definition on stdout, and also ignore the buildid.
Ahhh! I guess I totally missed the point of that flag. You're right. It works exactly the way I want :)
Thanks. Please ignore my patch. Josh
