It looks good.

Yes.
I'd like to enhance perf-script like this:

# perf script -f ip,addr,comm,sym,dso

output format is:
<comm> <ip> <sym_ip> <dso_ip> <addr> <sym_addr> <dso_addr>

actual output sample is:
ls 0xffffffff81460b92 common_interrupt /lib/modules/3.0/build/vmlinux 0x0000003e9b000b20 _start /lib64/ld-2.13.so
ls 0x0000003e9b000b23 _start /lib64/ld-2.13.so 0x0000003e9b004540 _dl_start /lib64/ld-2.13.so
...

By specifying 'ip' and 'addr' together, perf-script resolves
symbol and dso's path about both of 'ip' and 'addr'.

I'd like to improve it referring perf branch's source codes.

Thank you.
