[PATCH 0/9] perf tools: Add support for build id with different sizes

[Jiri Olsa]

hi,
currently we support only one storage size (20 bytes) for build
ids. That fits for SHA1 build ids, but there can in theory be
any size. The gcc linker supports also MD5, which is 16 bytes.

Currently the MD5 build id will be stored in .debug cache with
additional zeros, like:

  $ find ~/.debug
  .../.debug/.build-id/a5/0e350e97c43b4708d09bcd85ebfff700000000
  ...
  .../buildid-ex-md5/a50e350e97c43b4708d09bcd85ebfff700000000
  .../buildid-ex-md5/a50e350e97c43b4708d09bcd85ebfff700000000/elf
  .../buildid-ex-md5/a50e350e97c43b4708d09bcd85ebfff700000000/probes

And the same reflected in buildid-list as well:

  $ perf buildid-list
  17f4e448cc746582ea1881528deb549f7fdb3fd5 [kernel.kallsyms]
  a50e350e97c43b4708d09bcd85ebfff700000000 .../buildid-ex-md5

This will cause problems in future when we will ask debuginfod
for binaries/debuginfo based on build id.

This patchset is adding 'struct build_id' object, that holds
the build id data and size and use it to store build ids and
changes all related functions to use it.
