Wang Nan 6bb536cc4b perf probe: Fix segfault when glob matching function without debuginfo
Commit 4c85935122 ("perf probe: Support
glob wildcards for function name") introduces segfault problems when
debuginfo is not available:

 # perf probe 'sys_w*'
  Added new events:
  Segmentation fault

The first problem resides in find_probe_trace_events_from_map(). In
that function, find_probe_functions() is called to match each symbol
against glob to find the number of matching functions, but still use
map__for_each_symbol_by_name() to find 'struct symbol' for matching
functions. Unfortunately, map__for_each_symbol_by_name() does
exact matching by searching in an rbtree.

It doesn't know glob matching, and not easy for it to support it because
it use rbtree based binary search, but we are unable to ensure all names
matched by the glob (any glob passed by user) reside in one subtree.

This patch drops map__for_each_symbol_by_name(). Since there is no
rbtree again, re-matching all symbols costs a lot. This patch avoid it
by saving all matching results into an array (syms).

The second problem is the lost of tp->realname. In
__add_probe_trace_events(), if pev->point.function is glob, the event
name should be set to tev->point.realname. This patch ensures its
existence by strdup sym->name instead of leaving a NULL pointer there.

After this patch:

 # perf probe 'sys_w*'
 Added new events:
   probe:sys_waitid     (on sys_w*)
   probe:sys_wait4      (on sys_w*)
   probe:sys_waitpid    (on sys_w*)
   probe:sys_write      (on sys_w*)
   probe:sys_writev     (on sys_w*)

 You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

         perf record -e probe:sys_writev -aR sleep 1
