[PATCH 5/5] perf inject: Keep a copy of kcore_dir

From: Adrian Hunter
Date: Fri May 20 2022 - 09:24:52 EST


If the input perf.data has a kcore_dir, copy it into the output, since
at least the kallsyms in the kcore_dir will be useful to the output.

Example:

Before:

$ ls -lR perf.data-from-desktop
perf.data-from-desktop:
total 916
-rw------- 1 user user 931756 May 19 09:55 data
drwx------ 2 user user 4096 May 19 09:55 kcore_dir

perf.data-from-desktop/kcore_dir:
total 42952
-r-------- 1 user user 7582467 May 19 09:55 kallsyms
-r-------- 1 user user 36388864 May 19 09:55 kcore
-r-------- 1 user user 4828 May 19 09:55 modules

$ perf inject -i perf.data-from-desktop -o injected-perf.data

$ ls -lR injected-perf.data
-rw------- 1 user user 931320 May 20 15:08 injected-perf.data

After:

$ perf inject -i perf.data-from-desktop -o injected-perf.data

$ ls -lR injected-perf.data
injected-perf.data:
total 916
-rw------- 1 user user 931320 May 20 15:21 data
drwx------ 2 user user 4096 May 20 15:21 kcore_dir

injected-perf.data/kcore_dir:
total 42952
-r-------- 1 user user 7582467 May 20 15:21 kallsyms
-r-------- 1 user user 36388864 May 20 15:21 kcore
-r-------- 1 user user 4828 May 20 15:21 modules
