Ravi Bangoria e216874cc1 perf annotate: Fix jump target outside of function address range
If jump target is outside of function range, perf is not handling it
correctly. Especially when target address is lesser than function start
address, target offset will be negative. But, target address declared to
be unsigned, converts negative number into 2's complement. See below
example. Here target of 'jumpq' instruction at 34cf8 is 34ac0 which is
lesser than function start address(34cf0).

        34ac0 - 34cf0 = -0x230 = 0xfffffffffffffdd0

Objdump output:

  0000000000034cf0 <__sigaction>:
  __GI___sigaction():
    34cf0: lea    -0x20(%rdi),%eax
    34cf3: cmp    -bashx1,%eax
    34cf6: jbe    34d00 <__sigaction+0x10>
    34cf8: jmpq   34ac0 <__GI___libc_sigaction>
    34cfd: nopl   (%rax)
    34d00: mov    0x386161(%rip),%rax        # 3bae68 <_DYNAMIC+0x2e8>
    34d07: movl   -bashx16,%fs:(%rax)
    34d0e: mov    -bashxffffffff,%eax
    34d13: retq

perf annotate before applying patch:

  __GI___sigaction  /usr/lib64/libc-2.22.so
           lea    -0x20(%rdi),%eax
           cmp    -bashx1,%eax
        v  jbe    10
        v  jmpq   fffffffffffffdd0

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
