Josh Poimboeuf 1d1a0e7c51 scripts/faddr2line: Fix overlapping text section failures
There have been some recent reports of faddr2line failures:

  $ scripts/faddr2line sound/soundcore.ko sound_devnode+0x5/0x35
  bad symbol size: base: 0x0000000000000000 end: 0x0000000000000000

  $ ./scripts/faddr2line vmlinux.o enter_from_user_mode+0x24
  bad symbol size: base: 0x0000000000005fe0 end: 0x0000000000005fe0

The problem is that faddr2line is based on 'nm', which has a major
limitation: it doesn't know how to distinguish between different text
sections.  So if an offset exists in multiple text sections in the
object, it may fail.

Rewrite faddr2line to be section-aware, by basing it on readelf.

Translate stack dump function offsets.

addr2line doesn't work with KASLR addresses. This works similarly to

addr2line, but instead takes the 'func+0x123' format as input:

$ ./scripts/faddr2line ~/k/vmlinux meminfo_proc_show+0x5/0x568

meminfo_proc_show+0x5/0x568:

meminfo_proc_show at fs/proc/meminfo.c:27

If the address is part of an inlined function, the full inline call chain is

printed:

$ ./scripts/faddr2line ~/k/vmlinux native_write_msr+0x6/0x27

native_write_msr+0x6/0x27:

arch_static_branch at arch/x86/include/asm/msr.h:121

(inlined by) static_key_false at include/linux/jump_label.h:125

(inlined by) native_write_msr at arch/x86/include/asm/msr.h:125

The function size after the '/' in the input is optional, but recommended.

It's used to help disambiguate any duplicate symbol names, which can occur

rarely. If the size is omitted for a duplicate symbol then it's possible for

multiple code sites to be printed:

$ ./scripts/faddr2line ~/k/vmlinux raw_ioctl+0x5

raw_ioctl+0x5/0x20:

raw_ioctl at drivers/char/raw.c:122

raw_ioctl+0x5/0xb1:

raw_ioctl at net/ipv4/raw.c:876

Multiple addresses can be specified on a single command line:

$ ./scripts/faddr2line ~/k/vmlinux type_show+0x10/45 free_reserved_area+0x90

type_show+0x10/0x2d:

type_show at drivers/video/backlight/backlight.c:213

free_reserved_area+0x90/0x123:

free_reserved_area at mm/page_alloc.c:6429 (discriminator 2)
