Description Hadrien Grasland 2023-10-27 08:00:40 UTC
debuginfod is a great time-saver, and I wish I could use it with perf as it could save me enormous debug symbol hunting time in everyday profiling. Especially when doing system-wide profiles.

Unfortunately, however, if I try enable perf's debuginfod support with "perf config record.debuginfod=system", I get a warning that it was not enabled in the build distributed by openSUSE:

> WARNING: debuginfod support requested, but perf is not built with it

May I ask you to consider adjusting the perf package's build configuration so that debuginfod support is included?
