[PATCH perf/core 2/4] perf-probe: Skip if the function address is 0

From: Masami Hiramatsu
Date: Fri Sep 23 2016 - 11:35:19 EST


Skip probes if the entry address of the target function is 0.
This can happen if we handles c++ debuginfo.

E.g. without this fix, below case still fail.

----
This is because some instances have entry_pc == 0 (see 19710b and
19fc9d). With this fix, those are skipped.
