The kernel may clear the sample IP to 0 when a user-space address is
expected but a kernel address is sampled due to hardware skid. A zero
sample IP causes the object-code reading test to fail incorrectly.
Skip zero sample IP values in the object-code reading test to avoid
false-positive failures.
Reported-by: kernel test robot <yi1.lai@intel.com>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/oe-lkp/202609151503.cb02f753-lkp@intel.com
Fixes: 166f10836a65 ("perf/core: Fix kernel register info leak via hardware skid")

The c2c memory-region column currently records only the last memory
region seen for an address. However, a single address can map to
multiple memory regions over the sampling window, so reporting only the
final one loses useful information.
Update the memory-region tracking to accumulate all sampled regions for
the address and display them together in the region column.
