perf tools: Add support for 32-bit compatibility VDSOs
'perf record' post-processes the event stream to create a list of build-ids for object files for which sample events have been recorded. That results in those object files being recorded in the build-id cache. In the case of VDSO, perf tools reads it from memory and copies it into a temporary file, which as decribed above, gets added to the build-id cache. Then when the perf.data file is processed by other tools, the build-id of VDSO is listed in the perf.data file and the VDSO can be read from the build-id cache. In that case the name of the map, the short name of the DSO, and the entry in the build-id cache are all "[vdso]". However, in the 64-bit case, there also can be 32-bit compatibility VDSOs. A previous patch added programs "perf-read-vdso32" and "perf read-vdsox32". This patch uses those programs to read the correct VDSO for a thread and create a temporary file just as for the 64-bit VDSO. The map name and the entry in the build-id cache are still "[vdso]" but the DSO short name becomes "[vdso32]" and "[vdsox32]" respectively.
