Update "struct dso" to include new member "is_kmod". This new field will determine if the file is a kernel module or not. To resolve the address from a sample, perf looks at the DSO maps. In case of address from a kernel module, there were some address found to be not resolved. This was observed while running perf test for "Object code reading". Though the ip falls beteen the start address of the loaded module (perf map->start ) and end address ( perf map->end), it was unresolved. This was happening because in some cases for kernel modules, address from sample points to stub instructions. To identify if the DSO is a kernel module, the new field "is_kmod" is added to "struct dso".

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.
