faddr2line: Fix overlapping text section failures, the sequel
If a function lives in a section other than .text, but .text also exists in the object, faddr2line may wrongly assume .text. This can result in comically wrong output. For example: $ scripts/faddr2line vmlinux.o enter_from_user_mode+0x1c enter_from_user_mode+0x1c/0x30: find_next_bit at /home/jpoimboe/git/linux/./include/linux/find.h:40 (inlined by) perf_clear_dirty_counters at /home/jpoimboe/git/linux/arch/x86/events/core.c:2504 Fix it by passing the section name to addr2line, unless the object file is vmlinux, in which case the symbol table uses absolute addresses. Fixes: 1d1a0e7 ("scripts/faddr2line: Fix overlapping text section failures") Reported-by: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/7d25bc1408bd3a750ac26e60d2f2815a5f4a8363.1654130536.git.jpoimboe@kernel.org
