So far, we used to treat probe point offsets as being offset from the LEP. However, userspace applications (objdump/readelf) always show disassembly and offsets from the function GEP. This is confusing to the user as we will end up probing at an address different from what the user expects when looking at the function disassembly with readelf/objdump. Fix this by changing how we modify probe address with perf. If only the function name is provided, we assume the user needs the LEP. Otherwise, if an offset is specified, we assume that the user knows the exact address to probe based on function disassembly, and so we just place the probe from the GEP offset. Finally, kretprobe was also broken with kallsyms as we were trying to specify an offset. This patch also fixes that issue.
