Subject: perf probe: Fix to probe on gcc generated symbols for offline kernel

From: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org>

commit 8a937a25a7e3c19d5fb3f9d92f605cf5fda219d8 upstream.

Fix perf-probe to show probe definition on gcc generated symbols for
offline kernel (including cross-arch kernel image).

gcc sometimes optimizes functions and generate new symbols with suffixes
such as ".constprop.N" or ".isra.N" etc. Since those symbol names are
not recorded in DWARF, we have to find correct generated symbols from
offline ELF binary to probe on it (kallsyms doesn't correct it).  For
online kernel or uprobes we don't need it because those are rebased on
_text, or a section relative address.

E.g. Without this:

  $ perf probe -k build-arm/vmlinux -F __slab_alloc*
  __slab_alloc.constprop.9
  $ perf probe -k build-arm/vmlinux -D __slab_alloc
  p:probe/__slab_alloc __slab_alloc+0

If you put above definition on target machine, it should fail
because there is no __slab_alloc in kallsyms.

With this fix, perf probe shows correct probe definition on
__slab_alloc.constprop.9:

  $ perf probe -k build-arm/vmlinux -D __slab_alloc
  p:probe/__slab_alloc __slab_alloc.constprop.9+0

Subject: perf probe: Add error checks to offline probe post-processing

From: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org>

commit 3e96dac7c956089d3f23aca98c4dfca57b6aaf8a upstream.

Add error check codes on post processing and improve it for offline
probe events as:

 - post processing fails if no matched symbol found in map(-ENOENT)
   or strdup() failed(-ENOMEM).

 - Even if the symbol name is the same, it updates symbol address
   and offset.
