Subject: perf symbols: Resolve symbols against debug file first
Git-commit: 6833e0b81aed44c0510aaf2eb72722ba1cf7ddbe
Patch-mainline: 5.12-rc1
References: bsc#1180610

With LTO, there are symbols like these:

/usr/lib/debug/usr/lib64/libantlr4-runtime.so.4.8-4.8-1.4.x86_64.debug
 10305: 0000000000955fa4     0 NOTYPE  LOCAL  DEFAULT   29 Predicate.cpp.2bc410e7

This comes from a runtime/debug split done by the standard way:

objcopy --only-keep-debug $runtime $debug
  objcopy --add-gnu-debuglink=$debugfn -R .comment -R .GCC.command.line --strip-all $runtime

perf currently cannot resolve such symbols (relicts of LTO), as section
29 exists only in the debug file (29 is .debug_info). And perf resolves
symbols only against runtime file. This results in all symbols from such
a library being unresolved:

0.38%  main2    libantlr4-runtime.so.4.8  [.] 0x00000000000671e0

So try resolving against the debug file first. And only if it fails (the
section has NOBITS set), try runtime file. We can do this, as "objcopy
--only-keep-debug" per documentation preserves all sections, but clears
data of some of them (the runtime ones) and marks them as NOBITS.

The correct result is now:
     0.38%  main2    libantlr4-runtime.so.4.8  [.] antlr4::IntStream::~IntStream

Note that these LTO symbols are properly skipped anyway as they belong
neither to *text* nor to *data* (is_label && !elf_sec__filter(&shdr,
secstrs) is true).
