They were in tools/include/linux/kernel.h, requiring that it in turn
included stdio.h, which is way too heavy.

I hit a bug when running test suite without forking
each test (-F option):

  $ perf test -F dso
   8: Test dso data read                                       : Ok
   9: Test dso data cache                                      : FAILED!
  10: Test dso data reopen                                     : FAILED!

The reason the session file limit is set just once for
perf process so we need to reset it for each test,
otherwise wrong limit is taken into account.

Use path/to/bin/buildid/elf instead of path/to/bin/buildid
to store corresponding elf binary.
This also stores vdso in buildid/vdso, kallsyms in buildid/kallsyms.

Note that the existing caches are not updated until user adds
or updates the cache. Anyway, if there is the old style build-id
cache it falls back to use it. (IOW, it is backward compatible)

Store DSO's .text offset into DSO, used for VDSOs and will also be used for
other needs, like handling kernel modules.

<title>perf symbols: Fix dso lookup by long name and missing buildids</title>

Commit 4598a0a6d22f ("perf symbols: Improve DSO long names lookup speed
with rbtree") Added a tree to lookup dsos by long name.  That tree gets
corrupted whenever a dso long name is changed because the tree is not
updated.

One effect of that is buildid-list does not work with the 'with-hits'
option because dso lookup fails and results in two structs for the same
dso.  The first has the buildid but no hits, the second has hits but no
buildid. e.g.

Before:

  $ tools/perf/perf record ls
  arch     certs    CREDITS  Documentation  firmware  include
  ipc      Kconfig  lib      Makefile       net       REPORTING-BUGS
  scripts  sound    usr      block          COPYING   crypto
  drivers  fs       init     Kbuild         kernel    MAINTAINERS
  mm       README   samples  security       tools     virt
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.012 MB perf.data (11 samples) ]
  $ tools/perf/perf buildid-list
  574da826c66538a8d9060d393a8866289bd06005 [kernel.kallsyms]
  30c94dc66a1fe95180c3d68d2b89e576d5ae213c /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc-2.19.so
  $ tools/perf/perf buildid-list -H
  574da826c66538a8d9060d393a8866289bd06005 [kernel.kallsyms]
  0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc-2.19.so

After:

  $ tools/perf/perf buildid-list -H
  574da826c66538a8d9060d393a8866289bd06005 [kernel.kallsyms]
  30c94dc66a1fe95180c3d68d2b89e576d5ae213c /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc-2.19.so

The fix is to record the root of the tree on the dso so that
dso__set_long_name() can update the tree when the long name changes.

<title>perf annotate: Reset the dso find_symbol cache when removing symbols</title>

The 'annotate' tool does some filtering in the entries in a DSO but
forgot to reset the cache done in dso__find_symbol(), cauxing a SEGV:

  [root@zoo ~]# perf annotate netlink_poll

  -------- backtrace --------

Fix it by reseting the find cache when removing symbols.

Fix it by reseting the find cache when removing symbols.

This has a different model than the 'thread' and 'map' struct lifetimes:
there is not a definitive "don't use this DSO anymore" event, i.e. we may
get many 'struct map' holding references to the '/usr/lib64/libc-2.20.so'
DSO but then at some point some DSO may have no references but we still
don't want to straight away release its resources, because "soon" we may
get a new 'struct map' that needs it and we want to reuse its symtab or
other resources.

So we need some way to garbage collect it when crossing some memory
usage threshold, which is left for anoter patch, for now it is
sufficient to release it when calling dsos__exit(), i.e. when deleting
the whole list as part of deleting the 'struct machine' containing it,
which will leave only referenced objects being used.

To allow concurrent access, next step: refcount struct dso instances, so
that we can ditch unused them when the last map pointing to it goes
away.
