Asking Masami and looking at perf might help us add support for lookup
by file/lineno (using dwarf info). I think in terms of usability this is
really important, and should appear in tools at the same time as the
basic feature based on file/offset (or at least appear in the same
LTTng release).

We should keep in mind that liblttng-ctl is LGPLv2.1, so we cannot use
perf code as-is without asking for the author's permission first.
Nothing prevents us from writing this support ourself if need be though.

Thanks,

Mathieu
