[PATCH v3 1/3] perf annotate: Fix a bug reading link name from a build-id file

From: Taeung Song
Date: Mon Mar 27 2017 - 03:18:00 EST


It is wrong way to read link name from a build-id file.
Because a build-id file is not symbolic link
but build-id directory of it is symbolic link, so fix it.

For example, if build-id file name gotten from
dso__build_id_filename() is as below,

/root/.debug/.build-id/4f/75c7d197c951659d1c1b8b5fd49bcdf8f3f8b1/elf

To correctly read link name of build-id,
use the build-id dir path that is a symbolic link,
instead of the above build-id file name like below.

/root/.debug/.build-id/4f/75c7d197c951659d1c1b8b5fd49bcdf8f3f8b1
