[ Upstream commit 9856240ad3269f2fdab0b2fa4400ef8aab792061 ]
The fake symbols we create for inlined frames will represent different
functions but can use the symbol start address. This leads to issues
when different inline branches all lead to the same function.
Before:
~~~~~
$ perf report -s sym -i perf.inlining.data --inline --stdio -g function
...
--38.86%--_start
__libc_start_main
main
|
--37.57%--std::norm<double> (inlined)
std::_Norm_helper<true>::_S_do_it<double> (inlined)
|
--36.36%--std::abs<double> (inlined)
std::__complex_abs (inlined)
|
--12.24%--std::linear_congruential_engine<unsigned long, 16807ul, 0ul, 2147483647ul>::operator() (inlined)
std::__detail::__mod<unsigned long, 2147483647ul, 16807ul, 0ul> (inlined)
std::__detail::_Mod<unsigned long, 2147483647ul, 16807ul, 0ul, true, true>::__calc (inlined)
~~~~~
Note that this backtrace representation is completely bogus.
Complex abs does not call the linear congruential engine! It
is just a side-effect of a longer inlined stack being appended
to a shorter, different inlined stack, both of which originate
in the same function (main).
This patch fixes the issue:
~~~~~

__libc_start_main
