Martin Liška 1dc27f6330 perf annotate: Properly interpret indirect call
The patch changes the parsing of:

	callq  *0x8(%rbx)

from:

  0.26 │     → callq  *8

to:

  0.26 │     → callq  *0x8(%rbx)

in this case an address is followed by a register, thus one can't parse
only the address.

Committer testing:

1) run 'perf record sleep 10'
2) before applying the patch, run:

     perf annotate --stdio2 > /tmp/before

3) after applying the patch, run:

     perf annotate --stdio2 > /tmp/after

4) diff /tmp/before /tmp/after:

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
