From: He Kuang <heku...@huawei.com> Make perf-record command support --vmlinux option if BPF_PROLOGUE is on.
'perf record' needs vmlinux as the source of DWARF info to generate prologue for BPF programs, so path of vmlinux should be specified. Short name 'k' has been taken by 'clockid'. This patch skips the short option name and use '--vmlinux' for vmlinux path.

Without this patch vmlinux must be reside in standard path for BPF loader finding it. I think you can review this patch with other patch I send today. Other patch on my local tree is not belong to this topic.
