Subject: [PATCH 4.9 18/74] Revert "perf tools: Decompress kernel module when reading DSO data"

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org>

This reverts commit e2d054998b151e85b6305aa72264f67097bd78e9 which is
commit 1d6b3c9ba756a5134fd7ad1959acac776d17404b upstream.

It breaks the build, so obviously none of us actually tested it :(
