[PATCH 18/20] perf probe: Do not access kallsyms when analyzing user binaries

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

From: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Do not access kallsyms to show available variables and show source lines
in user binaries.

This behavior always requires the root privilege when sysctl sets
kernel.kptr_restrict=1, but we don't need it just for analyzing user
binaries.

Without this patch (by normal user, kptr_restrict=1):
  ----
  $ perf probe -x ./perf -V add_cmdname
  Failed to init vmlinux path.
    Error: Failed to show vars.
  $ perf probe -x ./perf -L add_cmdname
  Failed to init vmlinux path.
    Error: Failed to show lines.
  ----

With this patch:
  ----
  $ perf probe -x ./perf -V add_cmdname
  Available variables at add_cmdname
          @<perf_unknown_cmd_config+144>
                  (No matched variables)
          @<list_commands_in_dir+160>
                  (No matched variables)
          @<add_cmdname+0>
                  char*   name
                  size_t  len
                  struct cmdnames*        cmds
  $ perf probe -x ./perf -L add_cmdname
  <add_cmdname@/home/fedora/ksrc/linux-3/tools/perf/util/help.c:0>
        0  void add_cmdname(struct cmdnames *cmds, const char *name, size_t len)
        1  {
        2         struct cmdname *ent = malloc(sizeof(*ent) + len + 1);

        4         ent->len = len;
        5         memcpy(ent->name, name, len);
        6         ent->name[len] = 0;
  ...
