Subject: [PATCH v4 19/63] objtool: Fix weak symbol detection
Date: Wed, 17 Sep 2025 09:03:27 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <e6667f985a2d93db64f24122822ea1ca95409530.1758067943.git.jpoimboe@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1758067942.git.jpoimboe@kernel.org>

find_symbol_hole_containing() fails to find a symbol hole (aka stripped
weak symbol) if its section has no symbols before the hole.  This breaks
weak symbol detection if -ffunction-sections is enabled.

Fix that by allowing the interval tree to contain section symbols, which
are always at offset zero for a given section.

Fixes a bunch of (-ffunction-sections) warnings like:

  vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: .text.__x64_sys_io_setup+0x10: unreachable instruction

Fixes: 4adb23686795 ("objtool: Ignore extra-symbol code")
