Milian Wolff 1fe627da30 perf unwind: Take pgoff into account when reporting elf to libdwfl
libdwfl parses an ELF file itself and creates mappings for the
individual sections. perf on the other hand sees raw mmap events which
represent individual sections. When we encounter an address pointing
into a mapping with pgoff != 0, we must take that into account and
report the file at the non-offset base address.

This fixes unwinding with libdwfl in some cases. E.g. for a file like:

```

using namespace std;

mutex g_mutex;

double worker()
{
    lock_guard<mutex> guard(g_mutex);
    uniform_real_distribution<double> uniform(-1E5, 1E5);
    default_random_engine engine;
    double s = 0;
    for (int i = 0; i < 1000; ++i) {
        s += norm(complex<double>(uniform(engine), uniform(engine)));
    }
    cout << s << endl;
    return s;
}

int main()
{
    vector<std::future<double>> results;
    for (int i = 0; i < 10000; ++i) {
        results.push_back(async(launch::async, worker));
    }
    return 0;
}
```

Compile it with `g++ -g -O2 -lpthread cpp-locking.cpp  -o cpp-locking`,
then record it with `perf record --call-graph dwarf -e
sched:sched_switch`.

When you analyze it with `perf script` and libunwind, you should see:

Note that the backtrace is still stopping too early, when compared to
the nice results obtained via libunwind. It's unclear so far what the
reason for that is.

Committer note:

Further comment by Milian on the thread started on the Link: tag below:

 ---
The remaining issue is due to a bug in elfutils:

https://sourceware.org/ml/elfutils-devel/2018-q4/msg00089.html

With both patches applied, libunwind and elfutils produce the same output for
the above scenario.
