Subject: [PATCH] perf symbols: Fix annotation of objects with debuginfo
 files

From: Anton Blanchard <anton@...ba.org>

Commit 73cdf0c6ea9c ("perf symbols: Record text offset in dso
to calculate objdump address") started storing the offset of
the text section for all DSOs: 

       if (elf_section_by_name(elf, &ehdr, &tshdr, ".text", NULL))
               dso->text_offset = tshdr.sh_addr - tshdr.sh_offset;

Unfortunately this breaks debuginfo files, because we need to calculate
the offset of the text section in the associated executable file. As a
result perf annotate returns junk for all debuginfo files.

Fix this by using runtime_ss->elf which should point at the executable
when parsing a debuginfo file.
