Frank Ch. Eigler c7a14fdcb3 perf build-ids: Fall back to debuginfod query if debuginfo not found
During a perf-record, use the -ldebuginfod API to query a debuginfod
server, should the debug data not be found in the usual system
locations.  If successful, the usual $HOME/.debug dir is populated.

Tested with:

  $ find .
  .
  ./ctags-debuginfo-5.8-26.fc31.x86_64.rpm
  ./usr
  ./usr/lib
  ./usr/lib/debug
  ./usr/lib/debug/.build-id
  ./usr/lib/debug/.build-id/ca
  ./usr/lib/debug/.build-id/ca/46f6ae6a0cee57d85abc1d461c49074248908d
  ./usr/lib/debug/.build-id/ca/46f6ae6a0cee57d85abc1d461c49074248908d.debug
  ./usr/lib/debug/usr
  ./usr/lib/debug/usr/bin
  ./usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/ctags-5.8-26.fc31.x86_64.debug

  $ debuginfod  -F .
  ...

  $ rm -rf ~/.debug/ ; mkdir ~/.debug

  $ perf record make tags
    BUILD:   Doing 'make -j8' parallel build
    GEN      tags
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.107 MB perf.data (1483 samples) ]

  $ find ~/.debug | grep ctags
  /home/jolsa/.debug/usr/bin/ctags
  /home/jolsa/.debug/usr/bin/ctags/ca46f6ae6a0cee57d85abc1d461c49074248908d

  /home/jolsa/.debug/usr/bin/ctags/ca46f6ae6a0cee57d85abc1d461c49074248908d/probes

  $ rm -rf ~/.debug/ ; mkdir ~/.debug

  $ DEBUGINFOD_URLS=http://localhost:8002 perf record make tags
    BUILD:   Doing 'make -j8' parallel build
    GEN      tags
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.108 MB perf.data (1531 samples) ]

  $ find ~/.debug | grep ctag
  /home/jolsa/.debug/usr/bin/ctags
  /home/jolsa/.debug/usr/bin/ctags/ca46f6ae6a0cee57d85abc1d461c49074248908d
  /home/jolsa/.debug/usr/bin/ctags/ca46f6ae6a0cee57d85abc1d461c49074248908d/debug
  /home/jolsa/.debug/usr/bin/ctags/ca46f6ae6a0cee57d85abc1d461c49074248908d/elf
  /home/jolsa/.debug/usr/bin/ctags/ca46f6ae6a0cee57d85abc1d461c49074248908d/probes

Note the 'debug' file is created in the last run.

Note that currently the debuginfo data are downloaded only on record path,
we still need add this support to perf build-id/report.. and test ;-)

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
