David reported that perf can segfault when adding an uprobe event like
this:

  $ perf probe -x /lib64/libc-2.14.90.so -a 'malloc  size=%di'

And I found a related commit (5704c8c4fa71 "getcfi_scn_eh_frame: Don't
crash and burn when .eh_frame bits aren't there.") in elfutils that can
lead to a unexpected crash like this.  To safely use the function, it
needs to check the .eh_frame section is a PROGBITS type.
