perf report: Handle vDSO symbols properly
We were not looking up vDSO symbols properly, because they are in the kallsyms but are user-mode entries. Pass negative addresses to the kernel dso object, this way we resolve them properly: 0.05% [kernel]: vread_tsc Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Corey Ashford <cjashfor@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: John Kacur <jkacur@redhat.com> LKML-Reference: <new-submission> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
