Masami Hiramatsu c701636aee perf probe: Return a better scope DIE if there is no best scope
Make find_best_scope() returns innermost DIE at given address if there
is no best matched scope DIE. Since Gcc sometimes generates intuitively
strange line info which is out of inlined function address range, we
need this fixup.

Without this, sometimes perf probe failed to probe on a line inside an
inlined function:

  # perf probe -D ksys_open:3
  Failed to find scope of probe point.
    Error: Failed to add events.

With this fix, 'perf probe' can probe it:

  # perf probe -D ksys_open:3
  p:probe/ksys_open _text+25707308
  p:probe/ksys_open_1 _text+25710596
  p:probe/ksys_open_2 _text+25711114
  p:probe/ksys_open_3 _text+25711343
  p:probe/ksys_open_4 _text+25714058
  p:probe/ksys_open_5 _text+2819653
  p:probe/ksys_open_6 _text+2819701

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.
