[PATCH] perf callchain: Compare dsos (as well) for CCKEY_FUNCTION

From: Ravi Bangoria <hidden>
Date: 2017-10-05 03:51:56
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: performance events subsystem, the rest · Maintainers: Peter Zijlstra, Ingo Molnar, Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo, Namhyung Kim, Linus Torvalds

Two functions from different binaries can have same start
address. Thus, comparing only start address in match_chain()
leads to inconsistent callchains. Fix this by adding a check
for dsos as well.

Ex, https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-perf-users/msg04067.html
