Namhyung Kim e7b60c5a0c perf inject: Do not load map/dso when injecting build-id
No need to load symbols in a DSO when injecting build-id.  I guess the
reason was to check the DSO is a special file like anon files.  Use some
helper functions in map.c to check them before reading build-id.  Also
pass sample event's cpumode to a new build-id event.

It brought a speedup in the benchmark of 25 -> 21 msec on my laptop.
Also the memory usage (Max RSS) went down by ~200 KB.

  # Running 'internals/inject-build-id' benchmark:
    Average build-id injection took: 21.389 msec (+- 0.138 msec)
    Average time per event: 2.097 usec (+- 0.014 usec)
    Average memory usage: 8225 KB (+- 0 KB)

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
