Arch like powerpc has jump instructions that includes target address
as second operand. For example, 'bne  cr7,0xc0000000000f6154'. Add
support for such instruction in perf annotate.

objdump o/p:
  c0000000000f6140:   ld     r9,1032(r31)
  c0000000000f6144:   cmpdi  cr7,r9,0
  c0000000000f6148:   bne    cr7,0xc0000000000f6154
  c0000000000f614c:   ld     r9,2312(r30)
  c0000000000f6150:   std    r9,1032(r31)
  c0000000000f6154:   ld     r9,88(r31)

Corresponding perf annotate o/p:

Before patch:
         ld     r9,1032(r31)
         cmpdi  cr7,r9,0
      v  bne    3ffffffffff09f2c
         ld     r9,2312(r30)
         std    r9,1032(r31)
  74:    ld     r9,88(r31)

After patch:
         ld     r9,1032(r31)
         cmpdi  cr7,r9,0
      v  bne    74
         ld     r9,2312(r30)
         std    r9,1032(r31)
  74:    ld     r9,88(r31)

Changes in v8:
  - v7: https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/9/21/436
  - Rebase to acme/perf/core
  - Little change in patch description.
  - No logical changes. (Cross arch annotate patches are in. This patch
    is for hardening annotate for powerpc.)

Hi Arnaldo,

Hmm, so it's difficult to find example of this when we use debuginfo.
Because...

Jump__parse tries to look for two things 'offset' and 'target address'.

objdump with debuginfo will include offset in assembly f.e. annotate of
'smp_call_function_single' with perf.data and vmlinux I shared.

       │c00000000016d6ac:   cmpwi  cr7,r9,0                                                    ▒
       │c00000000016d6b0: ↑ bne    cr7,c00000000016d59c <.smp_call_function_single+0x8c>       ▒
       │c00000000016d6b4:   addis  r10,r2,-15                                                  ▒

objdump of same function with kcore.

       │c00000000016d6ac:   cmpwi  cr7,r9,0                                                    ▒
       │c00000000016d6b0: ↓ bne    cr7,0xc00000000016d59c                                      ▒
       │c00000000016d6b4:   addis  r10,r2,-15                                                  ▒

Annotating in first case won't show any issue because we directly get
offset. But in this case as well, we are parsing wrong target address
in ops->target.addr

While we don't have offset in second case, we use target address to
find it. And thus it shows wrong o/p something like:

       │       cmpwi  cr7,r9,0                                                                 ▒
       │     ↓ bne    3fffffffffe92afc                                                         ▒
       │       addis  r10,r2,-15                                                               ▒

BTW, we have lot of such instructions in kernel.

Thanks,
-Ravi

Simple enough, applied.
