Re: [PATCH v7 0/6] perf annotate: Cross arch support + few fixes

Currently Perf annotate support code navigation (branches and calls)
only when run on the same architecture where perf.data was recorded.
But, for example, record on powerpc server and annotate on client's
x86 desktop is not supported.

This patchset adds supports for that.

Example:

  Record on powerpc:
  $ ./perf record -a

  Report -> Annotate on x86:
  $ ./perf report -i perf.data.powerpc --vmlinux vmlinux.powerpc

Hi Arnaldo,
Can you please take this in for v4.10? We'd very much like to use this 
for better code annotation and browsing. FWIW, I have tested this on 
powerpc.
