[PATCH 3/4] perf tools: Fix buildid processing

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Date: Wed Aug 19 2015 - 15:42:22 EST


From: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@xxxxxxxxx>

After recording, 'perf record' post-processes the data to determine
which buildids are needed.

That processing must process the data in time order, if possible,
because otherwise dependent events, like forks and mmaps, will not make
sense.

[ Moved the sample_id_add to after trying to open the events, use pr_warning ]
