perf annotate: Fix parsing aarch64 branch instructions after objdump update
Starting with binutils 2.28, aarch64 objdump adds comments to the
disassembly output to show the alternative names of a condition code
[1].
It is assumed that commas in objdump comments could occur in other
arches now or in the future, so this fix is arch-independent.
The fix could have been done with arm64 specific jump__parse and
jump__scnprintf functions, but the jump__scnprintf instruction would
have to have its comment character be a literal, since the scnprintf
functions cannot receive a struct arch easily.
This inconvenience also applies to the generic jump__scnprintf, which is
why we add a raw_comment pointer to struct ins_operands, so the __parse
function assigns it to be re-used by its corresponding __scnprintf
function.
Example differences in 'perf annotate --stdio2' output on an aarch64
perf.data file:
BEFORE: → b.cs ffff200008133d1c <unwind_frame+0x18c> // b.hs, dffff7ecc47b
AFTER : ↓ b.cs 18c
BEFORE: → b.cc ffff200008d8d9cc <get_alloc_profile+0x31c> // b.lo, b.ul, dffff727295b
AFTER : ↓ b.cc 31c
The branch target labels 18c and 31c also now appear in the output:
BEFORE: add x26, x29, #0x80
AFTER : 18c: add x26, x29, #0x80
BEFORE: add x21, x21, #0x8
AFTER : 31c: add x21, x21, #0x8
The Fixes: tag below is added so stable branches will get the update; it
doesn't necessarily mean that commit was broken at the time, rather it
didn't withstand the aarch64 objdump update.
Tested no difference in output for sample x86_64, power arch perf.data files.
