Since the ip shown for a symbol is now always a virtual address, it
becomes difficult to correlate this with objdump output and determine
the exact instruction address. So, we always show the offset from the
start of the symbol.
This can be verified on a powerpc64le system running Fedora 27 as
follows:
# perf probe -a sys_write
# perf record -e probe:sys_write -g ~/test
