[PATCH 18/22] perf record: Support custom vmlinux path

From: Wang Nan
Date: Wed Sep 23 2015 - 07:27:42 EST


From: He Kuang <hekuang@xxxxxxxxxx>

Make perf-record command support --vmlinux option if BPF_PROLOGUE is on.

'perf record' needs vmlinux as the source of DWARF info to generate
prologue for BPF programs, so path of vmlinux should be specified.

Short name 'k' has been taken by 'clockid'. This patch skips the short
option name and use '--vmlinux' for vmlinux path.
