Subject: [PATCH v6 05/30] objtool: Print symbol during disassembly
Date: Fri, 21 Nov 2025 10:53:15 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251121095340.464045-6-alexandre.chartre@oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251121095340.464045-1-alexandre.chartre@oracle.com>
Print symbols referenced during disassembly instead of just printing
raw addresses. Also handle address relocation.
Signed-off-by: Alexandre Chartre <alexandre.chartre@oracle.com>
