Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo f1dfa0b1c1 perf symbols: Add support for 'variable' symtabs
Example:

{
	u64 addr = strtoull(sym_filter, NULL, 16);
	struct map *map = map_groups__find(kmaps, MAP__VARIABLE, addr);

	if (map == NULL)
		pr_err("couldn't find map!\n");
	else {
		struct symbol *sym = map__find_symbol(map, addr, NULL);
		if (sym == NULL)
			pr_err("couldn't find addr!\n");
		else
			pr_info("addr %#Lx is in %s global var\n", addr, sym->name);
	}
	exit(0);
}

Added just after symbol__init() call in 'perf top', then:

{
        u64 addr = strtoull(sym_filter, NULL, 16);
        struct map *map = map_groups__find(kmaps, MAP__VARIABLE, addr);

        if (map == NULL)
                pr_err("couldn't find map!\n");
        else {
                struct symbol *sym = map__find_symbol(map, addr, NULL);
                if (sym == NULL)
                        pr_err("couldn't find addr!\n");
                else
                        pr_info("addr %#Lx is in %s global var\n", addr, sym->name);
        }
        exit(0);
}

[root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]# grep ' [dD] ' /proc/kallsyms | grep ' sched'

[root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]# perf top -s 0xffffffff817827d9
addr 0xffffffff817827d9 is in sched_nr_latency global var
[root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]# perf top -s ffffffff81782ce0
addr 0xffffffff81782ce0 is in sched_domains_mutex global var
[root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]#
[root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]# perf top -s ffffffff81782ce0 --vmlinux OFF
The file OFF cannot be used, trying to use /proc/kallsyms...addr 0xffffffff81782ce0 is in sched_domains_mutex global var
[root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]# perf top -s ffffffff818235bc --vmlinux OFF
The file OFF cannot be used, trying to use /proc/kallsyms...addr 0xffffffff818235bc is in sched_clock_stable global var
[root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]#

So it works with both /proc/kallsyms and with ELF symtabs, either
the one on the vmlinux explicitely passed via --vmlinux or in one
in the vmlinux_path that matches the buildid for the running kernel
or the one found in the buildid header section in a perf.data file.
