perf annotate: Use ops->target.name when available for unresolved call targets
There is a bug where when using 'perf annotate timerqueue_add' the target for its only routine called with the 'callq' instruction, 'rb_insert_color', doesn't get resolved from its address when parsing that 'callq' instruction. That symbol resolution works when using 'perf report --tui' and then doing annotation for 'timerqueue_add' from there, the vmlinux dso->symbols rb_tree somehow gets in a state that we can't find that address, that is a bug that has to be further investigated. But since the objdump output has the function name, i.e. the raw objdump disassembled line looks like: So, before: # perf annotate timerqueue_add │ mov %rbx,%rdi │ mov %rbx,(%rdx) │ → callq *ffffffff8184dc80 │ mov 0x8(%rbp),%rdx │ test %rdx,%rdx │ ↓ je 67 # perf report │ mov %rbx,%rdi │ mov %rbx,(%rdx) │ → callq rb_insert_color │ mov 0x8(%rbp),%rdx │ test %rdx,%rdx │ ↓ je 67 And after both look the same: # perf annotate timerqueue_add │ mov %rbx,%rdi │ mov %rbx,(%rdx) │ → callq rb_insert_color │ mov 0x8(%rbp),%rdx │ test %rdx,%rdx │ ↓ je 67 From 'perf report' one can annotate and navigate to that 'rb_insert_color' function, but not directly from 'perf annotate timerqueue_add', that remains to be investigated and fixed.
