perf symbol: Fix symbol parsing in certain cases: use the build-id as a symlink
In some cases distros have binaries and debuginfo in weird places: [root@doppio tuna]# ls -la /usr/lib64/{xulrunner-1.9.1/xulrunner-stub,firefox-3.5.2/firefox} -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 90024 2009-08-03 19:45 /usr/lib64/firefox-3.5.2/firefox -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 90024 2009-08-03 18:23 /usr/lib64/xulrunner-1.9.1/xulrunner-stub [root@doppio tuna]# sha1sum /usr/lib64/{xulrunner-1.9.1/xulrunner-stub,firefox-3.5.2/firefox} 19a858077d263d5de22c9c5da250d3e4396ae739 /usr/lib64/xulrunner-1.9.1/xulrunner-stub 19a858077d263d5de22c9c5da250d3e4396ae739 /usr/lib64/firefox-3.5.2/firefox [root@doppio tuna]# rpm -qf /usr/lib64/{xulrunner-1.9.1/xulrunner-stub,firefox-3.5.2/firefox} xulrunner-1.9.1.2-1.fc11.x86_64 firefox-3.5.2-2.fc11.x86_64 [root@doppio tuna]# ls -la /usr/lib/debug/{usr/lib64/xulrunner-1.9.1/xulrunner-stub,usr/lib64/firefox-3.5.2/firefox}.debug ls: cannot access /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib64/firefox-3.5.2/firefox.debug: No such file or directory -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 403608 2009-08-03 18:22 /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib64/xulrunner-1.9.1/xulrunner-stub.debug Seemingly we don't have a .symtab when we actually can find it if we use the .note.gnu.build-id ELF section put in place by some distros. Use it and find the symbols we need.
