[PATCH] perf symbols: Follow .gnu_debuglink section to find separatesymbols

From: Pierre-Loup A. Griffais
Date: Wed Jun 20 2012 - 18:23:10 EST


The .gnu_debuglink section is specified to contain the filename of the
debug info file, as well as a CRC that can be used to validate it.

This doesn't currently use the checksum and relies on the usual build-id
matching for validation.

This provides more context:
