Subject: perf buildid-cache: Support binary objects from other namespaces
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f045b8c4b36baddcfbdd4d3d956446e688b0b3cd;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

perf buildid-cache: Support binary objects from other namespaces

Teach buildid-cache how to add, remove, and update binary objects from
other mount namespaces.  Allow probe events tracing binaries in
different namespaces to add their objects to the probe and build-id
caches too.  As a handy side effect, this also lets us access SDT probes
in binaries from alternate mount namespaces.
