Every sample has its own field `map_pgoff`. So I am confused why we need the
sentence: map_pgoff = '[unknown]'. And you can see with above change, we will
set dso_vm_start delicately with below code section.

How about a simple change like below?

@@ -267,7 +268,7 @@ def process_event(param_dict):

  dso_fname = get_dso_file_path(dso, dso_bid)
  if path.exists(dso_fname):
-     print_disam(dso_fname, dso_vm_start, start_addr, stop_addr)
+     print_disam(dso_fname, dso_vm_start, start_addr + map_pgoff, stop_addr +
map_pgoff)

If this change does not work, I am curious if anything we missed to handle in
the perf's C code (frontend).

Thanks,
Leo
