perf symbols: Try the .debug/ DSO cache as a last resort
Not as the first attempt at finding a vmlinux for the running kernel,
this way we get a more informative filename to present in tools, it will
check that the build-id is the same as the one previously loaded in the
DSO in dso->build_id, reading from /sys/kernel/notes, for instance.
E.g. in the annotation TUI, going from 'perf top', for the scsi_sg_alloc
kernel function, in the first line:
Before:
scsi_sg_alloc /root/.debug/.build-id/28/2777c262e6b3c0451375163c9a81c893218ab1
After:
scsi_sg_alloc /lib/modules/4.3.0-rc1+/build/vmlinux
And:
# ls -la /root/.debug/.build-id/28/2777c262e6b3c0451375163c9a81c893218ab1
