[Bug translator/2465] New: possible wrong function.entry address given by systemtap

["guanglei at cn dot ibm dot com" <sourceware-bugzilla at sourceware dot org>]

See:

I know that for x86, kprobe uses the address right after the function prologue,
and kretprobe uses the address of the very beginning of that function.

But should there be some differences with PowerPC since it's a register based
and will have a different method to find the address used by kprobe? Maybe we
can just let both kprobe & kretprobe to use the address given by
kallsyms_lookup_name(function) ?

Sorry if I am wrong with something.
