Subject: [PATCH 2/7] perf symbols: Function descriptor symbol lookup

From: Eric B Munson <ebmunson@...ibm.com>

Currently symbol resolution does not work for 64-bit programs on architectures
that use function descriptors such as ppc64.

The problem is that a symbol doesn't point to a text address, it points to a
data area that contains (amongst other things) a pointer to the text address.

We look for a section called ".opd" which is the function descriptor area. To
create the full symbol table, when we see a symbol in the function descriptor
section we load the first pointer and use that as the text address.
