    perf powerpc: Fix callchain ip filtering · 24dc2f57

    [ Upstream commit c715fcfda5a08edabaa15508742be926b7ee51db ]
    
    For powerpc64, redundant entries in the callchain are filtered out by
    determining the state of the return address and the stack frame using
    DWARF debug information.
    
    For making these filtering decisions we must analyze the debug
    information for the location corresponding to the program counter value,
    i.e. the first entry in the callchain, and not the LR value; otherwise,
    perf may filter out either the second or the third entry in the
    callchain incorrectly.
    
    This can be observed on a powerpc64le system running Fedora 27 as shown
    below.
    
    Case 1 - Attaching a probe at inet_pton+0x8 (binary offset 0x15af28).
             Return address is still in LR and a new stack frame is not yet
             allocated. The LR value, i.e. the second entry, should not be
    	 filtered out.
