    perf_counter tools: Cover PLT symbols too · 8ce998d6
    Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
    PLT, the Program Linking Table, is used with the dynamic linker to
    allow PIC code in executables and shared objects to figure out
    where functions are in other shared objects.
    
    It is one of the sources of unknown/unresolved symbols - this patch
    does what binutils figures out when you ask it to disassembly.
