H A Dprobe-event.cdiff e486367f0101d43a044404ed2fa35aa043b19667 Tue Aug 25 15:27:35 CEST 2015 Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com> perf probe: Prevent segfault when reading probe point with absolute address

'perf probe -l' panic if there is a manually inserted probing point with
absolute address. For example:

# echo 'p:probe/abs_ffffffff811e6615 0xffffffff811e6615' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
# perf probe -l
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

This patch fix this problem by considering the situation that
"tp->symbol == NULL" in find_perf_probe_point_from_dwarf() and
find_perf_probe_point_from_map().

After this patch:

# perf probe -l
probe:abs_ffffffff811e6615 (on SyS_write+5@fs/read_write.c)

And when debug info is missing:

# rm -rf ~/.debug
# mv /lib/modules/4.2.0-rc1+/build/vmlinux /lib/modules/4.2.0-rc1+/build/vmlinux.bak
# perf probe -l
probe:abs_ffffffff811e6615 (on sys_write+5)
