Several people have suggested that 'perf' has become a full-fledged
tool that should be moved out of Documentation/. Move it to the
(new) tools/ directory.

In order to deal with [vdso] maps generalize the ip->symbol path
a bit and allow to override some bits with custom functions.

Also, add a suggestion to 'perf report', if the default sort order is
used.

The end is really (start + len - 1). Noticed when synthesizing
the PLT symbols, that are small (16 bytes), and hot on the
start RIP.

PLT, the Program Linking Table, is used with the dynamic linker to
allow PIC code in executables and shared objects to figure out
where functions are in other shared objects.
It is one of the sources of unknown/unresolved symbols - this patch
does what binutils figures out when you ask it to disassembly.

This has also a nice side effect, tools built on newer systems such as
fedora 10 again work on systems with older versions of glibc:
My workstation:
[acme@doppio ~]$ rpm -q glibc.x86_64
glibc-2.9-3.x86_64
Test machine:
[acme@emilia ~]$ rpm -q glibc.x86_64
glibc-2.5-24
Before:
[acme@emilia ~]$ perf
perf: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.7' not found (required by perf)
[acme@emilia ~]$ nm `which perf` | grep GLIBC_2\.7
U __isoc99_sscanf@@GLIBC_2.7
[acme@emilia ~]$
After:
[acme@emilia ~]$ perf
usage: perf [--version] [--help] COMMAND [ARGS]
The most commonly used perf commands are:
record Run a command and record its profile into perf.data
report Read perf.data (created by perf record) and display the
profile
stat Run a command and gather performance counter statistics
top Run a command and profile it
See 'perf help COMMAND' for more information on a specific command.
[acme@emilia ~]$ nm `which perf` | grep GLIBC_2\.7
[acme@emilia ~]$

Now one has just to use dso__load_kernel() optionally passing a vmlinux
filename.
Will make things easier for perf top that will want to pass a callback
to filter some symbols.

When creating a dso instance allow asking that all symbols in this dso
have a private area just before the symbol.
perf top will use this for its counters, etc.
