perf probe: Add fastpath to do lookup by function name
v3 -> v2: - Make pubname_search_cb more generic - Add fastpath to find_probes also v2 -> v1: - Don't compare file names with cu_find_realpath(...), instead, compare them with the name returned by dwarf_decl_file(sp_die) The vmlinux file may have thousands of CUs. We can lookup function name from .debug_pubnames section to avoid the slow loop on CUs. 1.
