Currently when we look for build id within bpf_get_stackid helper
call, we check the first NOTE section and we fail if build id is
not there.
However on some system (Fedora) there can be multiple NOTE sections
in binaries and build id data is not always the first one, like:
$ readelf -a /usr/bin/ls
...
[ 2] .note.gnu.propert NOTE 0000000000000338 00000338
0000000000000020 0000000000000000 A 0 0 8358
[ 3] .note.gnu.build-i NOTE 0000000000000358 00000358
0000000000000024 0000000000000000 A 0 0 437c
[ 4] .note.ABI-tag NOTE 000000000000037c 0000037c
...
So the stack_map_get_build_id function will fail on build id retrieval
and fallback to BPF_STACK_BUILD_ID_IP.
This patch is changing the stack_map_get_build_id code to iterate
through all the NOTE sections and try to get build id data from
each of them.
When tracing on sched_switch tracepoint that does bpf_get_stackid
helper call kernel build, I can see about 60% increase of successful
build id retrieval. The rest seems fails on -EFAULT.

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.
