perf record: Put a copy of kcore into the perf.data directory
Add a new 'perf record' option '--kcore' which will put a copy of /proc/kcore, kallsyms and modules into a perf.data directory. Note, that without the --kcore option, output goes to a file as previously. The tools' -o and -i options work with either a file name or directory name. Example: $ sudo perf record --kcore uname $ sudo tree perf.data perf.data ├── kcore_dir │   ├── kallsyms │   ├── kcore │   └── modules └── data $ sudo perf script -v build id event received for vmlinux: 1eaa285996affce2d74d8e66dcea09a80c9941de build id event received for [vdso]: 8bbaf5dc62a9b644b4d4e4539737e104e4a84541 Samples for 'cycles' event do not have CPU attribute set.
