Subject: [PATCH v3] perf symbols: fix symbol offset breakage with separated debug

Reposting, since this hasn't been posted for a while.

Original commit message follows:

Fixed a minor error in v2 where a check was erronueously done
twice.

Applies to 2.6.37-rc2

The new patch loads the ELF section headers from a separate
file if necessary, to avoid getting confused by the different
section file offsets seen in debug images.  Invalid section
headers are detected by checking for the presence of non-
writable SHT_NOBITS sections, which don't make sense under
normal circumstances.

In particular, this allows symbols in ET_EXEC images to get
fixed up correctly in the presence of separated debug images.

The image search loop is also tidied up to fix a minor bug
which would perform the same image load attempt more than
once in some situations.

For non-separated images, the headers should get loaded from
the same image as the symbols, in the usual way.
