Re: [PATCH 1/2] perf script: Show virtual addresses instead of offsets

[Ravi Bangoria <ravi.bangoria@linux.ibm.com>]

Arnaldo,

We already have a binary offset handy in perf code but there is no way to
dump it with perf script. We can derive it from symname+symoff but that's
a manual work.

Will it be good to have a '-F binoff' option?
