[PATCH 0/2] perf: support specify vdso path in cmdline

[Changbin Du]

The vdso dumped from process memory (in buildid-cache) lacks debugging
info. To annotate vdso symbols with source lines we need specify a
debugging version.

For x86, we can find them from your local build as
arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso{32,64}.so.dbg. Or they may resides in
/lib/modules/<version>/vdso/vdso{32,64}.so on Ubuntu. But notice that the
builid has to match.

$ sudo perf record -a
$ sudo perf report --objdump=llvm-objdump \
      --vdso arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso64.so.dbg,arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso32.so.dbg

Samples: 17K of event 'cycles:P', 4000 Hz, Event count (approx.): 1760

When doing cross platform analysis, we also need specify the vdso path if
we are interested in its symbols.
