Subject: [PATCH V3 2/3] perf tool:perf diff support for different binaries

From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@...el.com>

Currently, the perf diff only works with same binaries. That's because
it compares the symbol start address. It doesn't work if the perf.data
comes from different binaries. This patch matches the function names.
