Fix to get correctly unmapped symbol address on kernel. This allows us
to probe on syscall symbols which are aliases of SyS_ functions with
using debuginfo.
Without this fix:
----
# ./perf probe -a sys_write
Failed to find debug information for address 3b0100
Probe point 'sys_write' not found.
Error: Failed to add events.
----
The address 0x3b0100 is a mapped address, and not usable
in debuginfo.
With this fix:
----
# ./perf probe -a sys_write
Added new event:
probe:sys_write (on sys_write)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:sys_write -aR sleep 1
