[PATCH 3/3] perf probe: Add fastpath to do lookup by function name

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

From: Lin Ming <ming.m.lin@xxxxxxxxx>

v3 -> v2:
- Make pubname_search_cb more generic
- Add fastpath to find_probes also

v2 -> v1:
- Don't compare file names with cu_find_realpath(...), instead, compare
  them with the name returned by dwarf_decl_file(sp_die)

The vmlinux file may have thousands of CUs.
We can lookup function name from .debug_pubnames section
to avoid the slow loop on CUs.

1. Improvement data for find_line_range

./perf stat -e cycles -r 10 -- ./perf probe -k /home/mlin/vmlinux \
        -s /home/mlin/linux-2.6 \
        --line csum_partial_copy_to_user > tmp.log

before patch applied
