Ok, here is what the problem I've met,
Without this patch;
# perf probe -vfn -x perf scnprintf 2>&1
[...]

You can see there are many 0xc02d0, which is the last symbol of scnprintf in perf.
# nm perf | grep scnprintf

Oops, I thought 12bits are enough, but it seems not...
BTW, I'm not sure why debuginfo and nm shows symbol address + 0x400000,
and why the perf's map/symbol can remove this offset. Could you tell me
how it works?
If I can get the offset (0x400000) from binary, I don't need this kind
of ugly hacks...
Thank you,
