Jin Yao 443bc639e5 perf report: Print al_addr when symbol is not found
For branch mode, if the symbol is not found, it prints
the address.

For example, 0x0000555eee0365a0 in below output.

  Overhead  Command  Source Shared Object  Source Symbol                            Target Symbol

But it's not very easy to understand what the instructions
are in the binary. So this patch uses the al_addr instead.

With this patch, the output is

  Overhead  Command  Source Shared Object  Source Symbol                            Target Symbol
    17.55%  div      libc-2.27.so          [.] __random                             [.] __random

     6.10%  div      libc-2.27.so          [.] rand                                 [.] 0x0000000000000769

     5.72%  div      libc-2.27.so          [.] __random                             [.] __random_r
     5.62%  div      libc-2.27.so          [.] __random_r                           [.] __random_r
     5.38%  div      libc-2.27.so          [.] __random                             [.] rand
     4.56%  div      libc-2.27.so          [.] __random                             [.] __random
     4.49%  div      div                   [.] 0x0000000000000779                   [.] 0x00000000000005ff
     4.25%  div      div                   [.] 0x00000000000005fa                   [.] 0x0000000000000760

Now we can use objdump to dump the object starting from 0x5a0.

For example,
objdump -d --start-address 0x5a0 div

00000000000005a0 <rand@plt>:
 5a0:   ff 25 2a 0a 20 00       jmpq   *0x200a2a(%rip)        # 200fd0 <__cxa_finalize@plt+0x200a20>
 5a6:   68 02 00 00 00          pushq  $0x2
 5ab:   e9 c0 ff ff ff          jmpq   570 <srand@plt-0x10>
 ...

Lets use -v to get full paths and then try objdump on the unresolved address:

  [root@seventh ~]# perf report -v --stdio --dso libsystemd-shared-241.so |& grep libsystemd-shared-241.so | tail -1

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

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

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.
