Revert "scripts/faddr2line: Check only two symbols when calculating symbol size"
This reverts commit c02904f. Such commit assumed that only two symbols are relevant for the symbol size calculation. However, this can lead to an incorrect symbol size calculation when there are mapping symbols emitted by readelf. For instance, when feeding 'update_irq_load_avg+0x1c/0x1c4', faddr2line might need to process the following readelf lines: 784284: ffffffc0081cca30 428 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 2 update_irq_load_avg 87319: ffffffc0081ccb0c 0 NOTYPE LOCAL DEFAULT 2 $x.62522 87321: ffffffc0081ccbdc 0 NOTYPE LOCAL DEFAULT 2 $x.62524 87323: ffffffc0081ccbe0 0 NOTYPE LOCAL DEFAULT 2 $x.62526 87325: ffffffc0081ccbe4 0 NOTYPE LOCAL DEFAULT 2 $x.62528 87327: ffffffc0081ccbe8 0 NOTYPE LOCAL DEFAULT 2 $x.62530 87329: ffffffc0081ccbec 0 NOTYPE LOCAL DEFAULT 2 $x.62532 87331: ffffffc0081ccbf0 0 NOTYPE LOCAL DEFAULT 2 $x.62534 87332: ffffffc0081ccbf4 0 NOTYPE LOCAL DEFAULT 2 $x.62535 783403: ffffffc0081ccbf4 424 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 2 sched_pelt_multiplier The symbol size of 'update_irq_load_avg' should be calculated with the address of 'sched_pelt_multiplier', after skipping the mapping symbols seen in between. However, the offending commit cuts the list short and faddr2line incorrectly assumes 'update_irq_load_avg' is the last symbol in the section, resulting in: $ scripts/faddr2line vmlinux update_irq_load_avg+0x1c/0x1c4 skipping update_irq_load_avg address at 0xffffffc0081cca4c due to size mismatch (0x1c4 != 0x3ff9a59988) no match for update_irq_load_avg+0x1c/0x1c4 After reverting the commit the issue is resolved: $ scripts/faddr2line vmlinux update_irq_load_avg+0x1c/0x1c4 update_irq_load_avg+0x1c/0x1c4: cpu_of at kernel/sched/sched.h:1109 (inlined by) update_irq_load_avg at kernel/sched/pelt.c:481 Fixes: c02904f ("scripts/faddr2line: Check only two symbols when calculating symbol size") Signed-off-by: Carlos Llamas <[email protected]> Acked-by: Will Deacon <[email protected]> Acked-by: Brian Johannesmeyer <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Josh Poimboeuf <[email protected]>
