[206/244] perf symbols: Fix ppc64 SEGV in dso__load_sym with debuginfo files

[Greg KH]

3.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Anton Blanchard <anton@xxxxxxxxx>

commit adb091846318f86e4f46c7d6a7b40d2f478abdbe upstream.

64bit PowerPC debuginfo files have an empty function descriptor section.
I hit a SEGV when perf tried to use this section for symbol resolution.

To fix this we need to check the section is valid and we can do this by
checking for type SHT_PROGBITS.
