Subject: [PATCH 1/3] perf symbols: fixup kernel_maps__fixup_end end map

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <[email protected]>

We better call this routine after both the kernel and modules are
loaded, because as it was if there weren't modules it would be called,
resulting in kernel_map->end remaining at zero, so no map would be found
and consequently the kernel symtab wouldn't get loaded, i.e. no kernel
symbols would be resolved.

Also this fixes another case, that is when we _have_ modules, but the
last map would have its ->end address not set before we loaded its
symbols, which would never happen because ->end was not set.

Subject: [PATCH 3/3] perf trace: read_tracing_data should die() another day

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <[email protected]>

It better propagate errors, also if we do a simple:

[root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]# perf record -R -a -f sleep 3s ; perf trace
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.182 MB perf.data (~7972 samples) ]
Fatal: not an trace data file
[root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]#

That is what is expected, right? I.e. as we didn't specify any
tracepoint event via -e, it should gracefully bail out and not SEGFAULT.
