When the linker combines two translation units, where one contains a weak function and the other an override for it. It simply strips the STB_WEAK symbol from the symbol table, but doesn't actually remove the code. The result is that when objtool is ran in a whole-archive kind of way, it will encounter *heaps* of unused (and unreferenced) code. All rudiments of weak functions. Additionally, when a weak implementation is split into a .cold subfunction that .cold symbol is left in place, even though completely unused. Teach objtool to ignore such rudiments by searching for symbol holes; that is, code ranges that fall outside the given symbol bounds. Specifically, ignore a sequence of unreachable instruction iff they occupy a single hole, additionally ignore any .cold subfunctions referenced. Both ld.bfd and ld.lld behave like this. LTO builds otoh can (and do) properly DCE weak functions.
