[ Upstream commit 56ac7bd2c58a4e93d19f0ccb181035d075b315d3 ]
This reverts commit c02904f05ff805d6c0631634d5751ebd338f75ec.
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
