[RFC PATCH V2] s390/perf: fix 'start' address of module's map

From: Song Shan Gong
Date: Fri Jul 15 2016 - 06:15:42 EST


At preset, when creating module's map, perf gets 'start' address by parsing
'/proc/modules', but it's module base address, isn't the start address of
'.text' section. In most archs, it's OK. But for s390, it places 'GOT' and
'PLT' relocations before '.text' section. So there exists an offset between
module base address and '.text' section, which will incur wrong symbol
resolution for modules.

Fix this bug by getting 'start' address of module's map from parsing
'/sys/module/[module name]/sections/.text', not from '/proc/modules'.
