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
