The output of "perf annotate -l --stdio xxx" changed since commit 425859ff0de33 ("perf annotate: No need to calculate notes->start twice") removed notes->start assignment in symbol__calc_lines(). It will get failed in find_address_in_section() from symbol__tty_annotate() subroutine as the a2l->addr is wrong. So the annotate summary doesn't report the line number of source code correctly.
