ppc64le functions have a Global Entry Point (GEP) and a Local Entry
Point (LEP). While placing a probe, we always prefer the LEP since it
catches function calls through both the GEP and the LEP. In order to do
this, we fixup the function entry points during elf symbol table lookup
to point to the LEPs. This works, but breaks 'perf test kallsyms' since
the symbols loaded from the symbol table (pointing to the LEP) do not
match the symbols in kallsyms.
To fix this, we do not adjust all the symbols during symbol table load.
Instead, we note down st_other in a newly introduced arch-specific
member of perf symbol structure, and later use this to adjust the probe
trace point.

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.

That field is only updated when we use the "sched:sched_stat_runtime"
tracepoint, and that is only done so far when we use the '--stat' command line
option, without it we get just zeros, confusing the users:

Sometimes we want to sort an existing rbtree by a different key,
introduce a template for that, that needs only to be provided the
rbtree root and the number of entries in it.
To do that a new rbtree will be created with extra space for each entry,
where possibly pre-calculated keys will be stored to be used in the
resort process and also later, when using the newly sorted rbtree.
Please check the following two changesets to see it in use for resorting
stats for threads and its syscalls in 'perf trace --summary'.
