Re: [PATCH 1/4] perf buildid-cache: Don't skip 16-byte build-ids

From: Nicholas Fraser

No problem, I've added a call to "perf buildid-cache -l" in check() to make
sure the added IDs are reported. The MD5 test fails without the previous
patch to allow 16-byte build-ids.

Do you also want PE files tested by this test script? This would make the
script depend on a number of things:

- We'd need to change "readelf" to something that can read the build-id of
PE files;

- We'd need MinGW installed to build them on the fly the same as the ELF
test cases, although we could use tests/pe-file.exe instead which is
already included;

- We'd need Wine to actually run it under perf record, which I'm sure you
don't want to depend on;

- We'd need to detect whether perf was built with libbfd support. Easily
done by calling perf version --build-options but by this point the test
case is getting pretty out of hand for what it's supposed to test.

I'll send patches for this test without PE support. It still tests 16-byte
build-ids because it tests an MD5 ELF file. Let me know if you also want me
to add PE support to this script. We can make it optionally perform PE
tests if all of the necessary tools are installed but it would take some
pretty large changes to the script.
