[PATCH/RFC 1/9] perf symbols: Use absolute address to fixup map address

From: Namhyung Kim
Date: Fri Jun 23 2017 - 01:48:56 EST


A symbol address is relative in a map/dso, to setup modules addresses it
should be converted to absolute address. Note that it only used for
kernel mappings which uses identity map but theorically it should unmap
the address IMHO.
