Naveen N. Rao 239aeba764 perf powerpc: Fix kprobe and kretprobe handling with kallsyms on ppc64le
So far, we used to treat probe point offsets as being offset from the
LEP. However, userspace applications (objdump/readelf) always show
disassembly and offsets from the function GEP. This is confusing to the
user as we will end up probing at an address different from what the
user expects when looking at the function disassembly with
readelf/objdump. Fix this by changing how we modify probe address with
perf.

If only the function name is provided, we assume the user needs the LEP.
Otherwise, if an offset is specified, we assume that the user knows the
exact address to probe based on function disassembly, and so we just
place the probe from the GEP offset.

Finally, kretprobe was also broken with kallsyms as we were trying to
specify an offset. This patch also fixes that issue.
