Adrian Hunter f08046cb30 perf thread-stack: Represent jmps to the start of a different symbol
The compiler might optimize a call/ret combination by making it a jmp.
However the thread-stack does not presently cater for that, so that such
control flow is not visible in the call graph. Make it visible by
recording on the stack a branch to the start of a different symbol.
Note, that means when a ret pops the stack, all jmps must be popped off
first.

Example:

  $ cat jmp-to-fn.c
  __attribute__((noinline)) int bar(void)
  {
          return -1;
  }

  __attribute__((noinline)) int foo(void)
  {
          return bar() + 1;
  }

  int main()
  {
          return foo();
  }
  $ gcc -ggdb3 -Wall -Wextra -O2 -o jmp-to-fn jmp-to-fn.c
  $ objdump -d jmp-to-fn

      1157:       83 c0 01                add    $0x1,%eax

Before:

    main
        -> bar

After:

    main
        -> foo
            -> bar

Committer testing:

Install the python2-pyside package, then select these menu options
on the GUI:

   "Reports"
      "Context sensitive callgraphs"

Then go on expanding the symbols, to get, full picture when doing this
on a fedora:29 with gcc version 8.2.1 20181215 (Red Hat 8.2.1-6) (GCC):

jmp-to-fn
  PID:TID
    _start                (ld-2.28.so)
      __libc_start_main
        main
          foo
            bar

To verify that indeed, this fixes the problem.
