Subject: [PATCH 28/34] perf symbols: Fix not finding kcore in buildid cache

From: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@...el.com>

The logic was not looking in the buildid cache for kcore if the host
kernel buildid did not match the recorded kernel buildid.

This affects the non-live case i.e. the kernel has changed and we are
looking at a special copy of kcore that we placed in the buildid cache
(using "perf buildid-cache -v -k /proc/kcore") when the data was
recorded.

After this fix kernel symbols get resolved/annotated correctly.
