perf symbols: Set the DSO long name when using symbol_conf.vmlinux_name
We need to set the long name to the name specified via, for instance, 'perf annotate --vmlinux /path/to/vmlinux', if not it will remain as '[kernel.kallsyms]' and that will make annotate fail when passing this as the vmlinux name in the call to objdump. The way this is setup grew unwieldly and dso__load_vmlinux is the function that should allocate space for the long name, with callers not assuming that filenames should be allocated somehow by then (strdup, dso__build_id_filename, etc). For now this is the minimalistic patch, a proper fix for .36 will be made. Reported-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Tested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Cc: David S.
