perf symbols: Accept symbols starting at address 0
That is the case of _text on s390, and we have some functions that return an address, using address zero to report problems, oops. This would lead the symbol loading routines to not use "_text" as the reference relocation symbol, or the first symbol for the kernel, but use instead "_stext", that is at the same address on x86_64 and others, but not on s390: [acme@localhost perf-4.11.0-rc6]$ head -15 /proc/kallsyms 0000000000000000 T _text 0000000000000418 t iplstart 0000000000000800 T start 000000000000080a t .base 000000000000082e t .sk8x8 0000000000000834 t .gotr 0000000000000842 t .cmd 0000000000000846 t .parm 000000000000084a t .lowcase 0000000000010000 T startup 0000000000010010 T startup_kdump 0000000000010214 t startup_kdump_relocated 0000000000011000 T startup_continue 00000000000112a0 T _ehead 0000000000100000 T _stext [acme@localhost perf-4.11.0-rc6]$ Which in turn would make 'perf test vmlinux' to fail because it wouldn't find the symbols before "_stext" in kallsyms. Fix it by using the return value only for errors and storing the address, when the symbol is successfully found, in a provided pointer arg.
