[PATCH 1/3] perf dso: Use libbfd to read build_id and .gnu_debuglink section

From: Remi Bernon
Date: Wed Jun 24 2020 - 06:31:17 EST


Wine generates PE binaries for most of its modules and perf is unable
to parse these files to get build_id or .gnu_debuglink section.

Using libbfd when available, instead of libelf, makes it possible to
resolve debug file location regardless of the dso binary format.

As a follow up to https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/6/1/402, I believe the 5.8
merge window is about to close (or is closed?), so I felt like it was
maybe the right time for an update.

This new version includes:
* a few style changes that were previously requested,
* a regression fix where the bfd filename__read_build_id did not return
the correct size on success,
* a small test case with sample PE file and separate debug file.

Cheers,
Remi
