hi, after migrating to fedora 35 I found perf record hanging on exit and it's because fedora 35 sets DEBUGINFOD_URLS that triggers debuginfod query which might take long time to process. I discussed this briefly with Frank and I'm sending the change to disable debuginfod by default in perf record. Frank had other idea we could discuss here to fork or just spawn "/usr/bin/debuginfod-find ...." into background after perf record. Perhaps there are other ways as well, hence this is RFC ;-)
I thought the debuginfod was for perf report, not record. Maybe I'm missing something but how about moving it to report? We can talk to debuginfod after checking the local build-id cache and binary on the system. Still, we can have perf buildid-cache to move it from the debuginfod to local cache. Thanks, Namhyung
