    perf symbols: Convert dso__load_syms to take 2 symsrc's · 261360b6
    Cody P Schafer authored
    To properly handle platforms with an opd section, both a runtime image
    (which contains the opd section but possibly lacks symbols) and a symbol
    image (which probably lacks an opd section but has symbols).
    
    The next patch ("perf symbol: use both runtime and debug images")
    adjusts the callsite in dso__load() to take advantage of being able to
    pass both runtime & debug images.
    
    Assumptions made here:
    
     - The opd section, if it exists in the runtime image, has headers in
       both the runtime image and the debug/syms image.
    
     - The index of the opd section (again, only if it exists in the runtime
       image) is the same in both the runtime and debug/symbols image.
    
    Both of these are true on RHEL, but it is unclear how accurate they are
    in general (on platforms with function descriptors in opd sections).
