perf script: Show virtual addresses instead of offsets
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 Before applying this patch: # perf record -e probe:sys_write -g ~/test # perf script -F ip,sym,symoff 4125b0 sys_write+0x8000000000008010 1b9e0 system_call+0x8000000000008058 118234 __GI___libc_write+0xffff0000f52c0024 92c74 _IO_file_write@@GLIBC_2.17+0xffff0000f52c0044 5afbfd8a [unknown] 91a60 new_do_write+0xffff0000f52c0090 94638 _IO_do_write@@GLIBC_2.17+0xffff0000f52c0038 94bbc _IO_file_overflow@@GLIBC_2.17+0xffff0000f52c014c 95a24 __overflow+0xffff0000f52c0064 84548 _IO_puts+0xffff0000f52c0218 440 main+0xffffffffe0000020 236a0 generic_start_main.isra.0+0xffff0000f52c0140 23898 __libc_start_main+0xffff0000f52c00b8 0 [unknown] ... # perf record -e probe:sys_write ~/test # perf script -F ip,sym,symoff c0000000004025b0 sys_write+0x10 ...
