perf tools: Back [vdso] DSO with real data
Storing data for VDSO shared object, because we need it for the post
unwind processing.
The VDSO shared object is same for all process on a running system, so
it makes no difference when we store it inside the tracer - perf.
When [vdso] map memory is hit, we retrieve [vdso] DSO image and store it
into temporary file.
During the build-id processing phase, the [vdso] DSO image is stored in
build-id db, and build-id reference is made inside perf.data. The
build-id vdso file object is called '[vdso]'. We don't use temporary
file name which gets removed when record is finished.
During report phase the vdso build-id object is treated as any other
build-id DSO object.
Adding following API for vdso object:
bool is_vdso_map(const char *filename)
- returns true if the filename matches vdso map name
struct dso *vdso__dso_findnew(struct list_head *head)
- find/create proper vdso DSO object
vdso__exit(void)
- removes temporary VDSO image if there's any
This change makes backtrace dwarf post unwind possible from [vdso] maps.
Following output is current report of [vdso] sample dwarf backtrace:
# Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol
# ........ ....... ................. .............................

99.52% ex [vdso] [.] 0x00007fff3ace89af
