So that we can filter by symbol name.

The 'pfunct' utility in the 'dwarves' package can be used to create a
file with the functions one wants.

Example:

[acme@doppio pahole]$ pfunct /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib64/libdw-0.141.so.debug | grep dwarf > /tmp/dwarf.symbols
[acme@doppio pahole]$ wc -l /tmp/dwarf.symbols
93 /tmp/dwarf.symbols
[acme@doppio pahole]$ head -3 /tmp/dwarf.symbols
dwfl_addrdwarf
dwfl_module_getdwarf
dwfl_getdwarf
[acme@doppio pahole]$ perf report --sort comm,dso,symbol --comms pahole --dsos /usr/lib64/libdw-0.141.so --symbols file:///tmp/dwarf.symbols

    33.99%            pahole  /usr/lib64/libdw-0.141.so  [.] dwarf_tag

Hi,

	The following patches allows filtering by comm, dso & symbol
lists, in a way similar to oprofile image: parameters.

Regards,

- Arnaldo
