[PATCH v2 0/3] perf srcline: Fix addr2line cache and fallback bugs

[Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>]

Three fixes to source line resolution, all on the addr2line paths.

1) libdw is pointed at the wrong file. dso__libdw_dwfl() opens the Dwfl
   with the name of the file the samples came from, but when the debug
   information is in a separate file, symbol loading records that as the
   dso's symsrc filename and the Dwfl is left referring to a file with
   no DWARF in it.

2) The dso addr2line cache is shared between implementations. The libbfd
   reader caches a struct a2l_data and the command line fallback caches
   a struct child_process through the same pointer, so once a dso has
   fallen back from one to the other the cached object is read back as
   the wrong type.

3) libbfd only reports success when the caller asked for a file name.
   addr2inlines() doesn't, so srcline.c treats a resolved address as a
   failure and tries the next implementation, which appends its own
   frames to the ones libbfd already appended. Every frame that isn't
   inlined is then reported twice. This is the default when perf is
   built with libbfd but without libdw:

     $ perf record --call-graph dwarf -- perf test -w inlineloop 1
     $ perf script --fields +srcline
     ...
                 56051a99503a inlineloop+0x8a (perf)
         inlineloop.c:47
                 56051a99503a inlineloop+0x8a (perf)
         inlineloop.c:47
     ...

   With addr2line.style set to "libbfd,addr2line" so the fallback is
   taken, the script output for that workload drops from 288 lines to
   176, and each repeated frame goes from appearing 16 times to 8.

Changes in v2:
 - Add patch 3, so that a resolved address isn't retried by the next
   addr2line implementation and reported twice.
 - Patch 1: rewrite the commit message to describe the wrong file the
   Dwfl is opened with, which is the actual bug, rather than the cache
   teardown that follows from it, and add the Fixes tag.
 - Rebase onto perf-tools-next.

This series is independent of "perf build: Fix builds with clang and
BUILD_NONDISTRO" posted earlier and applies with or without it.

Testing:

 - "perf test addr2line" and the hists tests pass.
 - Builds in 13 configurations, including BUILD_NONDISTRO=1 where the
   libbfd reader is actually compiled, and with clang and gcc.
 - Every patch builds on its own, so the series stays bisectable.
