The compiler may choose not to emit type information in DWARF for external symbols. Clang, for example, does this for symbols not defined in the current TU. To provide a way to work around this issue, add support for __gendwarfksyms_ptr_<symbol> pointers that force the compiler to emit the necessary type information in DWARF also for the missing symbols. Example usage: #define GENDWARFKSYMS_PTR(sym) \ static typeof(sym) *__gendwarfksyms_ptr_##sym __used \ __section(".discard.gendwarfksyms") = &sym; extern int external_symbol(void); GENDWARFKSYMS_PTR(external_symbol); Signed-off-by: Sami Tolvanen <samitolvanen@xxxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Petr Pavlu <petr.pavlu@xxxxxxxx> --- scripts/gendwarfksyms/dwarf.c | 55 +++++++++++++++++++++- scripts/gendwarfksyms/examples/symbolptr.c | 33 +++++++++++++ scripts/gendwarfksyms/gendwarfksyms.h | 7 +++ scripts/gendwarfksyms/symbols.c | 27 +++++++++++ 4 files changed, 121 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) create mode 100644 scripts/gendwarfksyms/examples/symbolptr.c diff --git a/scripts/gendwarfksyms/dwarf.c b/scripts/gendwarfksyms/dwarf.c index 746a89d9e3d4..534d9aa7c114 100644 --- a/scripts/gendwarfksyms/dwarf.c +++ b/scripts/gendwarfksyms/dwarf.c @@ -1061,6 +1061,31 @@ static void process_variable(struct state *state, Dwarf_Die *die) process_symbol(state, die, __process_variable); } +static void save_symbol_ptr(struct state *state) +{ + Dwarf_Die ptr_type; + Dwarf_Die type; + + if (!get_ref_die_attr(&state->die, DW_AT_type, &ptr_type) || + dwarf_tag(&ptr_type) != DW_TAG_pointer_type) + error("%s must be a pointer type!", + get_symbol_name(&state->die)); + + if (!get_ref_die_attr(&ptr_type, DW_AT_type, &type)) + error("%s pointer missing a type attribute?", + get_symbol_name(&state->die)); + + /* + * Save the symbol pointer DIE in case the actual symbol is + * missing from the DWARF.
