Masami Hiramatsu (Google) 1149fcf759 tracing: Add an option to show symbols in _text+offset for function profiler
Function profiler shows the hit count of each function using its symbol
name. However, there are some same-name local symbols, which we can not
distinguish.
To solve this issue, this introduces an option to show the symbols
in "_text+OFFSET" format. This can avoid exposing the random shift of
KASLR. The functions in modules are shown as "MODNAME+OFFSET" where the
offset is from ".text".

E.g. for the kernel text symbols, specify vmlinux and the output to
 addr2line, you can find the actual function and source info;

  $ addr2line -fie vmlinux _text+3078208
  __balance_callbacks
  kernel/sched/core.c:5064

for modules, specify the module file and .text+OFFSET;

  $ addr2line -fie samples/trace_events/trace-events-sample.ko .text+8224
  do_simple_thread_func
  samples/trace_events/trace-events-sample.c:23

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 reStructuredText markup notation.

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.
