  perf probe: Search both .eh_frame and .debug_frame sections for probe location (2016-02-02 13:30:16 -0300)

----------------------------------------------------------------
perf/urgent fixes:

- tracepoint_error() can receive e=NULL, robustify it, fixes a problem noticed
  with a very specific combination: Machine with Intel PT (e.g. Broadwell),
  kernel with no perf_event_attr.context_switch feature (e.g. 4.2) and unreadable
  tracefs (for instance !root users), making the fallback from
  perf_event_attr.context_switch to the sched:sched_switch tracepoint to fail
  reading its info from tracefs, fix it. (Adrian Hunter)

- Fix segfault in intel pt, by making it follow the 'struct thread' lifetime cycle
  checking expectations, noticed for instance, when processing perf.data files with
  Intel PT data using 'perf script' and when exiting 'perf report' (Adrian Hunter)

- Fix CFI usage from .eh_frame and .debug_frame, which sometimes requires that we
  fallback from .eh_frame to .debug_frame in architectures such as PowerPC (Hemant Kumar)
