[PATCH] perf/script: allow --symbol to accept hexadecimal addresses

From: Ian Rogers
Date: Wed Mar 25 2020 - 18:08:42 EST


From: Stephane Eranian <eranian@xxxxxxxxxx>

This patch extends the perf script --symbols option to filter
on hexadecimal addresses in addition to symbol names. This makes
it easier to handle cases where symbols are aliased.

With this patch, it is possible to mix and match symbols and hexadecimal
addresses using the --symbols option.

$ perf script --symbols=noploop,0x4007a0
