    perf annotate: Fix jump target outside of function address range · e216874c

    If jump target is outside of function range, perf is not handling it
    correctly. Especially when target address is lesser than function start
    address, target offset will be negative. But, target address declared to
    be unsigned, converts negative number into 2's complement. See below
    example. Here target of 'jumpq' instruction at 34cf8 is 34ac0 which is
    lesser than function start address(34cf0).
    
            34ac0 - 34cf0 = -0x230 = 0xfffffffffffffdd0
    
    Objdump output:
    
      0000000000034cf0 <__sigaction>:
      __GI___sigaction():
        34cf0: lea    -0x20(%rdi),%eax
        34cf3: cmp    -bashx1,%eax
