[PATCHv7 bpf-next 0/3] perf: Add mmap2 build id support

hi,
adding the support to have buildid stored in mmap2 event,
so we can bypass the final perf record hunt on build ids.

This patchset allows perf to record build ID in mmap2 event,
and adds perf tooling to store/download binaries to .debug
cache based on these build IDs.

Note that the build id retrieval code is stolen from bpf
code, where it's been used (together with file offsets)
to replace IPs in user space stack traces. It's now added
under lib directory.

v7 changes:
- included only missing kernel patches, cc-ed bpf@vger and
rebased on bpf-next/master [Alexei]

v6 changes:
- last 4 patches rebased Arnaldo's perf/core

v5 changes:
- rebased on latest perf/core
- several patches already pulled in
- fixed trace+probe_vfs_getname.sh output redirection
- fixed changelogs [Arnaldo]
- renamed BUILD_ID_SIZE to BUILD_ID_SIZE_MAX [Song]

v4 changes:
- fixed typo in changelog [Namhyung]
- removed force_download bool from struct dso_store_data,
because it's not used [Namhyung]

v3 changes:
- added acks
- removed forgotten debug code [Arnaldo]
- fixed readlink termination [Ian]
- fixed doc for --debuginfod=URLs [Ian]
- adopted kernel's memchr_inv function and used
it in build_id__is_defined function [Arnaldo]

On recording server:

- on the recording server we can run record with --buildid-mmap
option to store build ids in mmap2 events:

# perf record --buildid-mmap
^C[ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.836 MB perf.data ]

- it stores nothing to ~/.debug cache:

# find ~/.debug
find: ‘/root/.debug’: No such file or directory

- and still reports properly:

# perf report --stdio
...
99.82% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] native_safe_halt
0.03% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] finish_task_switch
0.02% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __softirqentry_text_start
0.01% kcompactd0 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore
0.01% ksoftirqd/6 [kernel.kallsyms] [k] slab_free_freelist_hook
0.01% kworker/17:1H-x [kernel.kallsyms] [k] slab_free_freelist_hook

- display used/hit build ids:

# perf buildid-list | head -5
5dcec522abf136fcfd3128f47e131f2365834dd7 /proc/kcore
589e403a34f55486bcac848a45e00bcdeedd1ca8 /usr/lib64/libcrypto.so.1.1.1g

40da7abe89f631f60538a17686a7d65c6a02ed31 /usr/lib64/ld-2.30.so

- store build id binaries into build id cache:

# perf buildid-cache -a perf.data

- run debuginfod daemon to provide binaries to another server (below)
(the initialization could take some time)

# debuginfod -F /

On another server:

- copy perf.data from 'record' server and run:

$ find ~/.debug/
find: ‘/home/jolsa/.debug/’: No such file or directory

$ perf buildid-list | head -5
No kallsyms or vmlinux with build-id 5dcec522abf136fcfd3128f47e131f2365834dd7 was found

559b9702bebe31c6d132c8dc5cc887673d65d5b5 /usr/lib64/libc-2.30.so

- report does not show anything (kernel build id does not match):

$ perf report --stdio
...
76.73% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] 0xffffffff81aa8ebe
1.89% find [kernel.kallsyms] [k] 0xffffffff810f2167

0.64% find [kernel.kallsyms] [k] 0xffffffff81a9ba0a
0.63% find [kernel.kallsyms] [k] 0xffffffff81aa93b0

- add build ids does not work, because existing binaries (on another server)
have different build ids:

$ perf buildid-cache -a perf.data

- add build ids with debuginfod setup pointing to record server:

$ perf buildid-cache -a perf.data --debuginfod http://192.168.122.174:8002
No kallsyms or vmlinux with build-id 5dcec522abf136fcfd3128f47e131f2365834dd7 was found
OK 5dcec522abf136fcfd3128f47e131f2365834dd7 [kernel.kallsyms]

OK 9bc8589108223c944b452f0819298a0c3cba6215 /usr/bin/find

- and report works:

$ perf report --stdio
...
76.73% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] native_safe_halt
1.91% find [kernel.kallsyms] [k] queue_work_on
0.93% sshd [kernel.kallsyms] [k] iowrite16
0.83% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] finish_task_switch
0.72% kworker/u40:2-e [kernel.kallsyms] [k] process_one_work
0.70% kworker/u40:0-e [kernel.kallsyms] [k] process_one_work
0.64% find [kernel.kallsyms] [k] syscall_enter_from_user_mode
0.63% find [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore

- because we have the data in build id cache:

$ find ~/.debug | head -10
.../.debug
.../.debug/home
.../.debug/home/jolsa
.../.debug/home/jolsa/.cache
.../.debug/home/jolsa/.cache/debuginfod_client
