From
Subject[PATCH] perf symbol: Look for ImageBase in PE file to compute .text offset
Date
Instead of using the file offset in the debug file.

This fixes a regression from 00a3423492bc90be99e529a64f13fdd80a0e8c0a,
causing incorrect symbol resolution when debug file have been stripped
from non-debug sections (in which case its .text section is empty and
doesn't have any file position).

The debug files could also be created with a different file alignment,
and have different file positions from the mmap-ed binary, or have the
section reordered.

This instead looks for the file image base, using the corresponding bfd
*ABS* symbols. As PE symbols only have 4 bytes, it also needs to keep
.text section vma high bits.

Hi!

As I'm not updating it often I only recently realized that perf had a
regression when using stripped debug info files, and all symbols from
PE files are off. This should make things better.

Cheers,
