perf top: Fix annotate for userspace
First, for programs and prelinked libraries, annotate code was fooled by objdump output IPs (src->eip in the code) being wrongly converted to absolute IPs. In such case there were no conversion needed, but in src->eip = strtoull(src->line, NULL, 16); src->eip = map->unmap_ip(map, src->eip); // = eip + map->start - map->pgoff we were reading absolute address from objdump (e.g. 8048604) and then almost doubling it, because eip & map->start are approximately close for small programs. Needless to say, that later, in record_precise_ip() there was no matching with real runtime IPs. And second, like with `perf annotate` the problem with non-prelinked *.so was that we were doing rip -> objdump address conversion wrong. Also, because unlike `perf annotate`, `perf top` code does annotation based on absolute IPs for performance reasons(*), new helper for mapping objdump addresse to IP is introduced. (*) we get samples info in absolute IPs, and since we do lots of hit-testing on absolute IPs at runtime in record_precise_ip(), it's better to convert objdump addresses to IPs once and do no conversion at runtime. I also had to fix how objdump output is parsed (with hardcoded 8/16 characters format, which was inappropriate for ET_DYN dsos with small addresses like '4ac') Also note, that not all objdump output lines has associtated IPs, e.g. look at source lines here: 000004ac <my_strlen>: extern "C" int my_strlen(const char *s) 4ac: 55 push %ebp 4ad: 89 e5 mov %esp,%ebp 4af: 83 ec 10 sub $0x10,%esp { int len = 0; 4b2: c7 45 fc 00 00 00 00 movl $0x0,-0x4(%ebp) 4b9: eb 08 jmp 4c3 <my_strlen+0x17> while (*s) { ++len; 4bb: 83 45 fc 01 addl $0x1,-0x4(%ebp) ++s; 4bf: 83 45 08 01 addl $0x1,0x8(%ebp) So we mark them with eip=0, and ignore such lines in annotate lookup code.
