The linux perf tools use /proc/kcore for disassembly kernel functions.
Actually it copies the relevant parts to a temp file and then pass it to
objdump. But it doesn't have section headers so llvm-objdump cannot
handle it.
Let's create fake section headers for the program headers. It'd have a
single section for each segment to cover the entire range. And for this
purpose we can consider only executable code segments.
With this change, I can see the following command shows proper outputs.
perf annotate --stdio --objdump=/path/to/llvm-objdump
