From: Ian Munsie <imunsie@au1.ibm.com>
In the event that a DSO has not been identified, just print out
[unknown] instead of the instruction pointer as we previously were
doing, which is pretty meaningless for a shared object (at least to the
users perspective).
The IP we print out is fairly meaningless in general anyway - it's just
one (the first) of the many addresses that were lumped together as
unidentified, and could span many shared objects and symbols. In reality
if we see this [unknown] output then the report -D output is going to be
more useful anyway as we can see all the different address that it
represents.
If we are printing the symbols we are still going to see this IP in that
column anyway since they shouldn't resolve either.
This patch also changes the symbol address printouts so that they print
out 0x before the address, are left aligned, and changes the %L format
string (which relies on a glibc bug) to %ll.
Before:
74.11% :3259 4a6c [k] 4a6c
After:
74.11% :3259 [unknown] [k] 0x4a6c
