[PATCH 1/1] perf archive: Don't try to collect files without a build-id

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@xxxxxxxxxx>

To avoid these error:

   [root@doppio ~]# perf archive
   tar: .build-id/00/00000000000000000000000000000000000000: Cannot stat:
   No such file or directory
   tar: .build-id/00/00000000000000000000000000000000000000: Cannot stat:
   No such file or directory
   tar: .build-id/00/00000000000000000000000000000000000000: Cannot stat:
   No such file or directory
   tar: .build-id/00/00000000000000000000000000000000000000: Cannot stat:
   No such file or directory
   tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
   [root@doppio ~]#

More work is needed to support archiving symtabs for binaries without a
build-id, perhaps creating a perf.data UUID + adding build-ids for the
binaries copied into the cache and then have this perf.data session UUID
be a directory with symlinks to the by now calculated build-id of the
files inside it.

Or just do an extra pass and insert the calculated build-ids in the
perf.data header.
