Subject: [PATCH 11/14] perf annotate: Use ops->target.name when available for unresolved call targets

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@...hat.com>

There is a bug where when using 'perf annotate timerqueue_add' the
target for its only routine called with the 'callq' instruction,
'rb_insert_color', doesn't get resolved from its address when parsing
that 'callq' instruction.

That symbol resolution works when using 'perf report --tui' and then
doing annotation for 'timerqueue_add' from there, the vmlinux
dso->symbols rb_tree somehow gets in a state that we can't find that
address, that is a bug that has to be further investigated.

But since the objdump output has the function name, i.e. the raw objdump
disassembled line looks like:

So, before:

  # perf annotate timerqueue_add

              │      mov    %rbx,%rdi
              │      mov    %rbx,(%rdx)
              │    → callq  *ffffffff8184dc80
              │      mov    0x8(%rbp),%rdx
              │      test   %rdx,%rdx
              │    ↓ je     67

  # perf report

              │      mov    %rbx,%rdi
              │      mov    %rbx,(%rdx)
              │    → callq  rb_insert_color
              │      mov    0x8(%rbp),%rdx
              │      test   %rdx,%rdx
              │    ↓ je     67

And after both look the same:

  # perf annotate timerqueue_add

              │      mov    %rbx,%rdi
              │      mov    %rbx,(%rdx)
              │    → callq  rb_insert_color
              │      mov    0x8(%rbp),%rdx
              │      test   %rdx,%rdx
              │    ↓ je     67

>From 'perf report' one can annotate and navigate to that 'rb_insert_color'
function, but not directly from 'perf annotate timerqueue_add', that
remains to be investigated and fixed.
