      perf symbols: Unify symbol maps · 3183f8ca
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      Remove the split of symbol tables for data (MAP__VARIABLE) and for
      functions (MAP__FUNCTION), its unneeded and there were various places
      doing two lookups to find a symbol, so simplify this.
      
      We still will consider only the symbols that matched the filters in
      place, i.e. see the (elf_(sec,sym)|symbol_type)__filter() routines in
      the patch, just so that we consider only the same symbols as before,
      to reduce the possibility of regressions.
      
      All the tests on 50-something build environments, in varios versions
      of lots of distros and cross build environments were performed without
      build regressions, as usual with all pull requests the other tests were
      also performed: 'perf test' and 'make -C tools/perf build-test'.
      
      Also this was done at a great granularity so that regressions can be
      bisected more easily.
