[PATCH] perf: Fallback to JIT support for mmap'd non-ELF binaries.

[Brian Robbins]

Programs can execute code contained in files that don't conform
to the ELF standard.  This is common for cross-platform runtimes
that support ahead-of-time compilation.  In this case, perf is
unable to resolve addresses to symbolic names, as the format of
the mmap'd file is unknown to perf.

Make perf fallback to JIT support (/tmp/perf-%pid.map) when
resolving function names if the file containing the code is not
an ELF binary.
