  perf symbols: Fix use after free in filename__read_build_id (2014-12-16 13:38:28 -0300)

----------------------------------------------------------------
perf/core improvements and fixes:

User visible:

- The mmap address range for the ring buffer now is calculated using the
  contents of /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_mlock_kb.

  This fixes an -EPERM case where 'trace' was trying to use more than what
  configured on perf_event_mlock_kb. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

Infrastructure:

- Move bitops definitions so that they match the header file hierarchy
  in the kernel sources where that code came from. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Adopt round{down,up}_pow_of_two from the kernel and use it instead of
  equivalent code, so that we reuse more kernel code and make tools/ look
  more like kernel source code, to encourage further contributions from
  kernel hackers (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Fix use after free in filename__read_build_id (Mitchell Krome)
