Subject[PATCH v3 2/7] perf probe/ppc: Fix symbol fixup issues due to ELF type
Date
If using the symbol table, symbol addresses are not being fixed up
properly, resulting in probes being placed at wrong addresses:

# perf probe do_fork
Added new event:
probe:do_fork (on do_fork)

You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

perf record -e probe:do_fork -aR sleep 1

# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
p:probe/do_fork _text+635952
# printf "%x" 635952
9b430
# grep do_fork /boot/System.map
c0000000000ab430 T .do_fork

Fix by checking for ELF type ET_DYN used by ppc64 kernels.
