My first version of the fix did not create filename_copy and
looked like as patch below. But then I noticed that
filename__read_debuglink function receives two pointers:

'filename' first parameter pointer to executable path from which
.gnu_debuglink sections content will be read

'debuglink' path to directory that will be updated by the function
(note  strncpy at line 531) to point to debug symbol file.

Before my change offset within 'filename' parameter of
dso__read_binary_type_filename function is passed as
'debuglink' parameter and it will be updated, and
dso->long_name is separate, passed as 'filename'
parameter to filename__read_debuglink function.

When in the first version of patch, as below, I pass filename
buffer to both (filename to open first and pointer within
filename to be updated as debuglink) as in patch
below, it will work with current implementation because
open happens first but update happens after that. But that
is specific dependency on current implementation of
filename__read_debuglink function. It did not feel quite
right to me, but practically it could be OK.

Here is the first version of the without filename_copy.
Practically I am OK with it. Please let me know if
you prefer this version:

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] perf symbols: debuglink should take symfs option into
 account

Currently code that tries to read corresponding debug symbol
file from .gnu_debuglink section (DSO_BINARY_TYPE__DEBUGLINK)
does not take in account symfs option, so filename__read_debuglink
function cannot open ELF file, if symfs option is used.

Fix is to add proper handling of symfs as it is done in other
places: use __symbol__join_symfs function to get real file name
of target ELF file.

OK, I am good with this. Let me repost the whole
mini-series based on mailing list review comments.

May I use 'Acked-by' (maybe 'Tested-by' as well) with
your name for the shorter (no filename_copy) as above
version of the patch for .gnu_debuglink issue fix.

ARM/Aarch64 specific change also needs update based on
discussion with Will and Russell.

I'll post updated version 2 latter tonight.

Thanks,
Victor
