[PATCH V2 00/10] perf tools: kcore improvements

[Adrian Hunter]

Hi

Here are some improvements for using kcore (version 2).  There are 3
improvements:

	- validate that kcore matches the perf.data modules
	- workaround objdump difficulties with kcore
	- add kcore to the build-id cache

Changes in V2:
	perf tools: fix buildid cache handling of kallsyms with kcore
		Dropped because it has been applied
	perf tools: fix path unpopulated in machine__create_modules()
		Use 'modules' pointer
