[PATCH v2] perf callchain: Compare dsos (as well) for CCKEY_FUNCTION

From: Ravi Bangoria
Date: Thu Oct 05 2017 - 05:12:53 EST


Two functions from different binaries can have same start
address. Thus, comparing only start address in match_chain()
leads to inconsistent callchains. Fix this by adding a check
for dsos as well.
