perf annotate: Fix it for non-prelinked *.so
The problem was we were incorrectly calculating objdump
addresses for sym->start and sym->end, look:
For simple ET_DYN type DSO (*.so) with one function, objdump -dS
output is something like this:
000004ac <my_strlen>:
int my_strlen(const char *s)
4ac: 55 push %ebp
4ad: 89 e5 mov %esp,%ebp
4af: 83 ec 10 sub $0x10,%esp
{
i.e. we have relative-to-dso-mapping IPs (=RIP) there.
For ET_EXEC type and probably for prelinked libs as well (sorry
can't test - I don't use prelink) objdump outputs absolute IPs,
e.g.
08048604 <zz_strlen>:
extern "C"
int zz_strlen(const char *s)
8048604: 55 push %ebp
8048605: 89 e5 mov %esp,%ebp
8048607: 83 ec 10 sub $0x10,%esp
{
So, if sym->start is always relative to dso mapping(*), we'll
have to unmap it for ET_EXEC like cases, and leave as is for
ET_DYN cases.
(*) and it is - we've explicitely made it relative. Look for
adjust_symbols handling in dso__load_sym()
Previously we were always unmapping sym->start and for ET_DYN
dsos resulting addresses were wrong, and so objdump output was
empty.
The end result was that perf annotate output for symbols from
non-prelinked *.so had always 0.00% percents only, which is
wrong.
To fix it, let's introduce a helper for converting rip to
objdump address, and also let's document what map_ip() and
unmap_ip() do -- I had to study sources for several hours to
understand it.
