perf report: Print al_addr when symbol is not found
For branch mode, if the symbol is not found, it prints
the address.
For example, 0x0000555eee0365a0 in below output.
Overhead Command Source Shared Object Source Symbol Target Symbol
17.55% div libc-2.27.so [.] __random [.] __random
6.11% div div [.] 0x0000555eee0365a0 [.] rand

5.80% div libc-2.27.so [.] __random_r [.] __random
5.72% div libc-2.27.so [.] __random [.] __random_r
5.62% div libc-2.27.so [.] __random_r [.] __random_r

4.56% div libc-2.27.so [.] __random [.] __random
4.49% div div [.] 0x0000555eee036779 [.] 0x0000555eee0365ff
4.25% div div [.] 0x0000555eee0365fa [.] 0x0000555eee036760
But it's not very easy to understand what the instructions
are in the binary. So this patch uses the al_addr instead.
With this patch, the output is
Overhead Command Source Shared Object Source Symbol Target Symbol
17.55% div libc-2.27.so [.] __random [.] __random
6.11% div div [.] 0x00000000000005a0 [.] rand
6.10% div libc-2.27.so [.] rand [.] 0x0000000000000769
5.80% div libc-2.27.so [.] __random_r [.] __random
5.72% div libc-2.27.so [.] __random [.] __random_r
5.62% div libc-2.27.so [.] __random_r [.] __random_r
5.38% div libc-2.27.so [.] __random [.] rand
4.56% div libc-2.27.so [.] __random [.] __random
4.49% div div [.] 0x0000000000000779 [.] 0x00000000000005ff
4.25% div div [.] 0x00000000000005fa [.] 0x0000000000000760
Now we can use objdump to dump the object starting from 0x5a0.
For example,
objdump -d --start-address 0x5a0 div
00000000000005a0 <rand@plt>:
5a0: ff 25 2a 0a 20 00 jmpq *0x200a2a(%rip) # 200fd0 <__cxa_finalize@plt+0x200a20>
5a6: 68 02 00 00 00 pushq $0x2
5ab: e9 c0 ff ff ff jmpq 570 <srand@plt-0x10>

Lets use -v to get full paths and then try objdump on the unresolved address:
[root@seventh ~]# perf report -v --stdio --dso libsystemd-shared-241.so |& grep libsystemd-shared-241.so | tail -1

If we tried the the reported address before this patch:
