Taeung Song 2e933b1274 perf annotate: Fix a bug of division by zero when calculating percent
Currently perf-annotate with --print-line can print
-nan(0x8000000000000) because of division by zero when calculating
percent. The division by zero happens when a sum of samples is zero in
symbol__get_source_line(), so fix it.

For example:

After running 'perf record' like below,

    $ perf record -e "{cycles,page-faults,branch-misses}" ./a.out

Before:

    $ perf annotate --stdio -l

  Sorted summary for file /home/taeung/workspace/a.out
  ----------------------------------------------

   32.89    -nan    7.04 a.c:38
   25.14    -nan    0.00 a.c:34
   16.26    -nan   56.34 a.c:31
   15.88    -nan    1.41 a.c:37
    5.67    -nan    0.00 a.c:39
    1.13    -nan   35.21 a.c:26
    0.95    -nan    0.00 a.c:44
    0.57    -nan    0.00 a.c:32
   Percent                 |      Source code & Disassembly of a.out for cycles (529 samples)
  -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                         :
  ...

   a.c:26    0.57    -nan    4.23 :         40081a:       mov    %edi,-0x24(%rbp)
   a.c:26    0.00    -nan    9.86 :         40081d:       mov    %rsi,-0x30(%rbp)

  ...

However, if a sum of samples is zero (e.g. 'page-faults'),
skip calculating percent.

After:

    $ perf annotate --stdio -l

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
