Currently it doesn't handle tasks in chroot properly. As filenames in
MMAP records base on their root directory, it's different than what perf
tool can see from outside.
Add filename_with_chroot() helper to deal with those cases. The
function returns a new filename only if it's in a different root
directory. Since it needs to access /proc for the process, it only
works until the task exits.
With this change, I can see symbols in my program like below.
# perf record -o- chroot myroot myprog 3 | perf report -i-
...
#
# Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol
# ........ ....... ................. .............................
#
99.83% myprog myprog [.] loop
0.04% chroot [kernel.kallsyms] [k] fxregs_fixup
0.04% chroot [kernel.kallsyms] [k] rsm_load_seg_32

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 Restructured Text 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.
