While this does seem to be the right solution for the extant problem, I do want to take a moment and ask if the function sections need to be exposed at all? What tools use this information, and do they just want to see the bounds of the code region? (i.e. the start/end of all the .text* sections) Perhaps .text.* could be excluded from the sysfs section list? -- Kees Cook
