Subject: [PATCH 11/41] tools lib symbol: Skip non-address kallsyms line

From: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@...nel.org>

Adding check on failed attempt to parse the address and skip the line
parsing early in that case.

The address can be replaced with '(null)' string in case user don't have
enough permissions, like:

  $ cat /proc/kallsyms
      (null) A irq_stack_union
      (null) A __per_cpu_start
      ...
