Subject: [PATCH 1/2] perf top: fix annotate for userspace

From: Kirill Smelkov <kirr@...dau.phys.spbu.ru>

First, for programs and prelinked libraries, annotate code was fooled by
objdump output IPs (src->eip in the code) being wrongly converted to
absolute IPs. In such case there were no conversion needed, but in

   src->eip = strtoull(src->line, NULL, 16);
   src->eip = map->unmap_ip(map, src->eip); // = eip + map->start - map->pgoff

we were reading absolute address from objdump (e.g. 8048604) and then
almost doubling it, because eip & map->start are approximately close for
small programs.

Needless to say, that later, in record_precise_ip() there was no
matching with real runtime IPs.

And second, like with `perf annotate` the problem with non-prelinked
*.so was that we were doing rip -> objdump address conversion wrong.

Also, because unlike `perf annotate`, `perf top` code does annotation based on
absolute IPs for performance reasons(*), new helper for mapping objdump
addresse to IP is introduced.

(*) we get samples info in absolute IPs, and since we do lots of
    hit-testing on absolute IPs at runtime in record_precise_ip(), it's
    better to convert objdump addresses to IPs once and do no conversion
    at runtime.

I also had to fix how objdump output is parsed (with hardcoded 8/16
characters format, which was inappropriate for ET_DYN dsos with small
addresses like '4ac')

Also note, that not all objdump output lines has associtated IPs, e.g.
look at source lines here:

    000004ac <my_strlen>:
    extern "C"
    int my_strlen(const char *s)
     4ac:   55                      push   %ebp
     4ad:   89 e5                   mov    %esp,%ebp
     4af:   83 ec 10                sub    $0x10,%esp
    {
        int len = 0;
     4b2:   c7 45 fc 00 00 00 00    movl   $0x0,-0x4(%ebp)
     4b9:   eb 08                   jmp    4c3 <my_strlen+0x17>

        while (*s) {
            ++len;
     4bb:   83 45 fc 01             addl   $0x1,-0x4(%ebp)
            ++s;
     4bf:   83 45 08 01             addl   $0x1,0x8(%ebp)

So we mark them with eip=0, and ignore such lines in annotate lookup
code.

Commiter note: one hunk of this patch was applied by Mike in 57d8188.
