[PATCH] perf auxtrace: Fix address filter symbol name match for modules

From: Adrian Hunter
Date: Wed Oct 26 2022 - 03:28:34 EST


For modules, names from kallsyms__parse() contain the module name which
meant that module symbols did not match exactly by name.

Fix by matching the name string up to the separating tab character.

Fixes: 1b36c03e3569 ("perf record: Add support for using symbols in address filters")
