This reverts commit de95ab53.

Markus Trippelsdorf reported that this commit broke 'perf top':

 > I just see a gray screen with no text at all. Sometimes the
 > following error messages are printed:
 >
 >  *** Error in `perf': invalid fastbin entry (free): 0x00000000029b18c0
 >  ***
 >  *** Error in `perf': malloc(): memory corruption (fast): 0x0000000000ee0b10 ***

While this code is fixable, the commit itself fails on several levels:

 - it should have been a separate helper function
 - why the heck does it do strchr() twice
 - it casts a const char * over into char *
 - sloppy style
 - it's not even a regression fix!

So lets revert it and re-try the patch in v3.13.

In the absence of vmlinux, perf tools uses kallsyms for symbols.  If the
user has access, now also map to /proc/kcore.

The dso data_type is now set to either DSO_BINARY_TYPE__KCORE or
DSO_BINARY_TYPE__GUEST_KCORE as approprite.

This patch breaks the "vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms" test.  That is
fixed in a following patch.

The new "object code reading" test shows that it is not possible to read
object code from kernel modules.  That is because the mappings do not
map to the dsos.  This patch fixes that.

This involves identifying and flagging relocatable (ELF type ET_REL)
files (e.g. kernel modules) for symbol adjustment and updating
map__rip_2objdump() accordingly.  The kmodule parameter of
dso__load_sym() is taken into use and the module map altered to map to
the dso.

The new "object code reading" test shows that it is not possible to read
object code from vmlinux.  That is because the mappings do not map to
the dso.  This patch fixes that.

A side-effect of changing the kernel map is that the "reloc" offset must
be taken into account.  As a result of that separate map functions for
relocation are no longer needed.

Also fixing up the maps to match the symbols no longer makes sense and
so is not done.

The vmlinux dso data_type is now set to either DSO_BINARY_TYPE__VMLINUX
or DSO_BINARY_TYPE__GUEST_VMLINUX as approprite, which enables the
correct file name to be determined by dso__binary_type_file().

This patch breaks the "vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms" test.  That is
fixed in a following patch.

We keep both a 'runtime' elf image as well as a 'debug' elf image around
and generate symbols by looking at both of these.

This eliminates the need for the want_symtab/goto restart mechanism
combined with iterating over and reopening the elf images a second time.

Also give dso__synthsize_plt_symbols() the runtime image (which has
dynsyms) instead of the symbol image (which may only have a symtab and
no dynsyms).

Previously if a debug image was found all runtime images were ignored.

This fixes 2 issues:

 - Symbol resolution to failure on PowerPC systems with debug symbols
   installed, as the debug images lack a '.opd' section which contains
   function descriptors.

 - On all archs, plt synthesis failed when a debug image was loaded and
   that debug image lacks a dynsym section while a runtime image has a
   dynsym section.

Assumptions:

 - If a .opd section exists, it is contained in the highest priority
   image with a dynsym section.

 - This generally implies that the debug image lacks a dynsym section
   (ie: it is marked as NO_BITS).

To properly handle platforms with an opd section, both a runtime image
(which contains the opd section but possibly lacks symbols) and a symbol
image (which probably lacks an opd section but has symbols).

The next patch ("perf symbol: use both runtime and debug images")
adjusts the callsite in dso__load() to take advantage of being able to
pass both runtime & debug images.

Assumptions made here:

 - The opd section, if it exists in the runtime image, has headers in
   both the runtime image and the debug/syms image.

 - The index of the opd section (again, only if it exists in the runtime
   image) is the same in both the runtime and debug/symbols image.

Both of these are true on RHEL, but it is unclear how accurate they are
in general (on platforms with function descriptors in opd sections).

Only one callsite of dso__load_sym() uses the want_symtab functionality,
so place the logic at the callsite instead of within dso__load_sym().

This sets us up for removal of want_symtab completely once we keep
multiple elf handles (within symsrc's) around.

Previously dso__synthesize_plt_symbols() was reopening the elf file to

In certain cases, dso__load requires dso->symbol_type to be set prior to
calling it. With the introduction of symsrc*, the symtab_type is now
stored in a symsrc which is then passed to dso__load_sym().

Change dso__load_sym() to use the symtab_type from them symsrc (setting
dso->symtab_type as well).

Factors opening of certain sections & tracking certain elf info into an
external structure.

The goal here is to keep multiple elfs (and their looked up
sections/indexes) around during the symbol generation process (in
dso__load()).

We need this to properly resolve symbols on PPC due to the use of
function descriptors & the .opd section (ie: symbols which are functions
don't point to their actual location, they point to their function
descriptor in .opd which contains their actual location.

It would be possible to just keep the (Elf *) around, but then we'd end
up with duplicate code for looking up the same sections and checking for
the existence of an important section wouldn't be as clean (and we need
to keep the Elf stuff confined to symtab-elf.c).

If we call elf_section_by_name() with a truncated elf image (ie: the
file header indicates that the section headers are placed past the end
of the file), elf_strptr() causes a segfault within libelf.

Avoid this by checking that we can access the section string table
properly.

Should really be fixed in libelf/elfutils.
