    Description

      elfutils currently only accepts whole ELF files as arguments to its reporting function, but on modern linux the dynamic loader maps the ELF files piecemeal, section by section. Therefore, we cannot recreate the memory layout in perfparser.

      The solution to this involves fixing elfutils to accept the same section-by-section reporting.
