Sandipan Das 7903a70867 perf script: Show symbol offsets by default
Since the ip shown for a symbol is now always a virtual address, it
becomes difficult to correlate this with objdump output and determine
the exact instruction address. So, we always show the offset from the
start of the symbol.

This can be verified on a powerpc64le system running Fedora 27 as
follows:

  # perf probe -a sys_write
  # perf record -e probe:sys_write -g ~/test

Before applying this patch:

  # perf script

README

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

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

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.
