[PATCH] perf tools: Fix annotation of vdso

From: Adrian Hunter
Date: Fri Aug 14 2015 - 08:53:14 EST


Older kernels attempt to prelink vdso to its virtual address.
To permit annotation using objdump, the map__rip_2objdump()
calculation must result in that same address which we can
infer from the start and offset of the text section.
