From: Sandipan Das <sandi...@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
When perf data is recorded with the call-graph option enabled, the
callchain shown by perf script shows the binary offsets of the symbols
as the ip. This is incorrect for kernel symbols as the ip values are
always off by a fixed offset depending on the architecture. If the
offsets from the start of the symbols are printed, they are also
incorrect for both kernel and userspace symbols.
Without the call-graph option, the callchain shows the virtual addresses
of the symbols rather than their binary offsets. The offsets printed in
this case are also correct.
This fixes the inconsistency in perf script's output.
This can be verified on a powerpc64le system running Fedora 27 as
follows:
# cat /proc/kallsyms | grep sys_write
...
c0000000004025a0 T sys_write
c0000000004025a0 T __se_sys_write
...
# perf probe -a sys_write
