perf probe: Ignore vmlinux Build-id when offline vmlinux given
Ignore vmlinux build-id when user gives offline vmlinux if the command does not affect running kernel. perf-probe has several actions some of them does not change the running kernel, like --lines, --vars, and --funcs. e.g. ----- $ ./perf probe -k ./vmlinux-arm -V do_sys_open:14 Available variables at do_sys_open:14 @<do_sys_open+202> char* filename int dfd int fd int flags struct filename* tmp struct open_flags op umode_t mode ----- Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/147222347320.5088.2582658035296667520.stgit@devbox Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
