sorry I forgot to mention that:

The test was to run pahole on kernel compiled with:
  make KCFLAGS="-ffunction-sections -fdata-sections" -j$(nproc) vmlinux

and ensure FUNC records are generated and match normal
build (without above KCFLAGS)

Also bpf selftest passed.

oops, it was reported by Yulia Kopkova (just cc-ed)

Joe tested the v2 of the patchset, I'll make a dwarves scratch
build with v3 and let them test it
