The goal of these 4 patches is to allow perf probing at absolute address for uprobes and kprobes. During the development several small problem in 'perf probe -l' is found and fixed.
Patch v2 can be found from [1]. Following Masami's suggestion, v3 splits bugfixs into their own patches instead of merging with feature. In this series, patch 1/6 to 4/6 are small bugfix. Patch 5/6 is the main patch which support the new syntax. Patch 6/6 is a kernel side small bugfix. Patch 1/6 and 6/6 have already been acked by Masami Hiramatsu.
