[PATCH v4 1/9] perf annotate: Fix symbolic link of build-id cache

From: Namhyung Kim
Date: Thu Jun 08 2017 - 03:36:07 EST


The commit 6ebd2547dd24 ("perf annotate: Fix a bug following symbolic
link of a build-id file") changed to use dirname to follow the symlink.
But it only considers new-style build-id cache names so old names fail
on readlink() and force to use system path which might not available.
