Adrian Hunter 51a188ad8c perf symbols: Start adding support for .plt.got for x86
For x86, .plt.got is used, for example, when the address is taken of a
dynamically linked function. Start adding support by synthesizing a
symbol for each entry. A subsequent patch will attempt to get a better
name for the symbol.

Example:

  Before:

    $ cat tstpltlib.c
    void fn1(void) {}
    void fn2(void) {}
    void fn3(void) {}
    void fn4(void) {}
    $ cat tstpltgot.c
    void fn1(void);
    void fn2(void);
    void fn3(void);
    void fn4(void);

    void callfn(void (*fn)(void))
    {
            fn();
    }

    int main()
    {
            fn4();
            fn1();
            callfn(fn3);
            fn2();
            fn3();
            return 0;
    }

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
