Subject: [PATCH 01/21] perf probe ppc: Fix symbol fixup issues due to ELF type

From: "Naveen N. Rao" <naveen.n.rao@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>

If using the symbol table, symbol addresses are not being fixed up
properly, resulting in probes being placed at wrong addresses:

  # perf probe do_fork
  Added new event:
    probe:do_fork        (on do_fork)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

	  perf record -e probe:do_fork -aR sleep 1

  # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
  p:probe/do_fork _text+635952
  # printf "%x" 635952
  9b430
  # grep do_fork /boot/System.map
  c0000000000ab430 T .do_fork

Fix by checking for ELF type ET_DYN used by ppc64 kernels.
