Currently the symbol structure is allocated with symbol_conf.priv_size
to carry sideband information like annotation, map browser on TUI and
sort-by-name tree node. So retrieving these information from symbol
needs to care about the details of such placement.
However the annotation code just assumes that the symbol is placed after
the struct annotation. But actually there's other info between them.
So accessing those struct will lead to an undefined behavior (usually a
crash) after they write their info to the same location.
To reproduce the problem, please follow the steps below:
1. run perf report (TUI of course) with -v option
2. open map browser (by pressing right arrow key for any entry)
3. search any function (by pressing '/' key and input whatever..)
4. return to the hist browser (by pressing 'q' or left arrow key)
5. open annotation window for the same entry (by pressing 'a' key)

Perf tool fails to unwind user stack if the event raises in a shared
object. This patch improves tests/dwarf-unwind.c to demonstrate the
problem by utilizing commonly used glibc function "bsearch". If perf is
not statically linked, the testcase will try to unwind a mixed call
trace.
By debugging libunwind I found that there is a bug in unwind-libunwind:
it always passes 0 as segbase to libunwind, cause libunwind unable to
locate debug_frame entry fir first level ip address (I add some more
debugging output into libunwind to make things clear):
>_Uarm_dwarf_find_debug_frame: start_ip = 10be98, end_ip = 10c2a4
>_Uarm_dwarf_find_debug_frame: found debug_frame table `/lib/libc-2.18.so': segbase=0x0, len=7, gp=0x0, table_data=0x449388
>_Uarm_dwarf_search_unwind_table: call lookup:ip = b6cd3bcc, segbase = 0, rel_ip = b6cd3bcc

...
>lookup: e->start_ip_offset = 15d0c (rel_ip = b6cd3bcc)
>lookup: e->start_ip_offset = 15c40 (rel_ip = b6cd3bcc)

This patch passes map->start as segbase to dwarf_find_debug_frame(), so
di will be initialized correctly.
In addition, dso and executable are different when setting segbase. This
patch first check whether the elf is executable, and pass segbase only
for shared object.

When build with 'make ARCH=x86' and dwarf unwind is on, there is a
compiling error:
CC /home/wn/perf/arch/x86/util/unwind-libdw.o
CC /home/wn/perf/arch/x86/tests/regs_load.o
arch/x86/tests/regs_load.S: Assembler messages:

make[1]: INTERNAL: Exiting with 25 jobserver tokens available; should be 24!
make: *** [all] Error 2
...
Which is caused by incorrectly undefine macro HAVE_ARCH_X86_64_SUPPORT.
'config/Makefile.arch' tests __x86_64__ only when 'ARCH=x86_64'.
However, when building x86_64 kernel, ARCH=x86 is valid and commonly
used. Build systems, such as yocto, uses x86_64 compiler with 'ARCH=x86'
to build x86_64 perf, which causes mismatching.
As __LP64__ is defined for x86_64 as well, we can consolidate the
__x86_64__ check to the __LP64__ check and get rid of the IS_X86_64
IMHO.
(This patch is made by Namhyung Kim when replying my v1 patch:

When perf report --children resorts output fields, it tries to put
caller above the callee. But this was only meaningful for a same thread
and doing this requires callchain enabled. So fix its check before
comparing the callchain depth.
This also changes the hist accumulation tests: In test 3, xmalloc in
bash thread should be above than other perf threads due to alphabetical
order of comm string. Also it's under page_fault in bash thread since
alphabetical order of dso name. The sys_perf_event_open in perf thread
is put on the last line since it's self overhead is 0.
In test 4, the sys_perf_event_open is put above other perf entries that
have same children overhead since its callchain depth is smaller.

When the shell fails to invoke a script because its path name
is too long (ENAMETOOLONG), most shells return 127 to indicate
command not found. However, some systems report 126 (which POSIX
suggests should indicate a non-executable file) for this case,
so allow that too.

Fix to fall back to find a probe point in symbols if perf fails to find
it in debuginfo.
This can happen when the target function is an alias of another
function. Such alias doesn't have an entry in debuginfo but in symbols.
David Ahern reported this problem in https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/12/29/355
I ensured the problem and deeper investigation discovers it.

...
-----
All these entires have no instances (all of them are declarations)
This is why the perf probe failed to find it in debuginfo.
However, there are some malloc instances in symbols.
-----
eu-readelf --symbols /usr/lib/debug/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc-2.19.so | grep malloc$

7302: 00000000000831d0 339 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 12 __libc_malloc
-----
As you an see, malloc and __libc_malloc have same address, and actually
__libc_malloc has an entry in debuginfo. So you can set up a probe on
__libc_malloc.
To fix this problem shortly, perf probe simply falls back to find probe
point(malloc) in symbols if it is not found in debuginfo.
