Ravi Bangoria bec60e50af perf annotate: Show raw form for jump instruction with indirect target
For jump instructions that does not include target address as direct operand,
show the original disassembled line for them. This is needed for certain
powerpc jump instructions that use target address in a register (such as bctr,
btar, ...).

Before:
     ld     r12,32088(r12)
     mtctr  r12
  v  bctr   ffffffffffffca2c
     std    r2,24(r1)
     addis  r12,r2,-1

After:
     ld     r12,32088(r12)
     mtctr  r12
  v  bctr
     std    r2,24(r1)
     addis  r12,r2,-1

Committer notes:

Testing it using a perf.data file and vmlinux for powerpc64,
cross-annotating it on a x86_64 workstation:

Before:

  .__bpf_prog_run  vmlinux.powerpc
         │        std    r10,512(r9)                      ▒
         │        lbz    r9,0(r31)                        ▒
         │        rldicr r9,r9,3,60                       ▒
         │        ldx    r9,r30,r9                        ▒
         │        mtctr  r9                               ▒
  100.00 │      ↓ bctr   3fffffffffe01510                 ▒
         │        lwa    r10,4(r31)                       ▒
         │        lwz    r9,0(r31)                        ▒
  <SNIP>
  Invalid jump offset: 3fffffffffe01510

After:

  .__bpf_prog_run  vmlinux.powerpc
         │        std    r10,512(r9)                      ▒
         │        lbz    r9,0(r31)                        ▒
         │        rldicr r9,r9,3,60                       ▒
         │        ldx    r9,r30,r9                        ▒
         │        mtctr  r9                               ▒
  100.00 │      ↓ bctr                                    ▒
         │        lwa    r10,4(r31)                       ▒
         │        lwz    r9,0(r31)                        ▒
  <SNIP>
  Invalid jump offset: 3fffffffffe01510

This, in turn, uncovers another problem with jumps without operands, the
ENTER/-> operation, to jump to the target, still continues using the bogus
target :-)

BTW, this was the file used for the above tests:
