Hello,

Currently, when perf reports kernel symbols, it tries to look up the
sample ip from kallsyms/vmlinux in the build-id cache, and then a
running kernel.  This can be a problem if it's recorded on a different
kernel and failed to find it from the build-id cache for some reason.

We can fix it by using --symfs option but it's annoying for user to do
it always.  As we already have the kernel version info in the
perf.data file, it'd be better to change it to use the info to search
the correct file automatically.

Minchan Kim reported this during his kernel work.  And this patchset
fixes it by using the recorded kernel info.

The patch 1 and 2 are independent fixes so can be applied separately.
The patch 3 to 12 are preparation for the patch 13 which move
symbol__init() after creating a session.


Before:

  $ perf report
  ...
  # Samples: 4K of event 'cpu-clock'
  # Event count (approx.): 1067250000
  #
  # Overhead  Command     Shared Object      Symbol
  # ........  ..........  .................  ..............................
      71.87%     swapper  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] recover_probed_instruction

After:

  # Overhead  Command     Shared Object      Symbol
  # ........  ..........  .................  ....................
      71.87%     swapper  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] native_safe_halt


You can also get it from 'perf/vmlinux-v1' branch on my tree:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/namhyung/linux-perf.git

Any comments are welcome.

Thanks,
Namhyung
