Subject: [PATCH v4 02/19] tools: Add gendwarfksyms
Date: Tue,  8 Oct 2024 18:38:26 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20241008183823.36676-23-samitolvanen@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20241008183823.36676-21-samitolvanen@google.com>

Add a basic DWARF parser, which uses libdw to traverse the debugging
information in an object file and looks for functions and variables.
In follow-up patches, this will be expanded to produce symbol versions
for CONFIG_MODVERSIONS from DWARF.
