Subject: [PATCH v3 16/21] objtool/klp: Filter arm64 mapping symbols in find_symbol_by_offset()
Date: Tue, 12 May 2026 20:33:50 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <236050080db7b2462fdb13a03ed48a8efb2415a4.1778642120.git.jpoimboe@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1778642120.git.jpoimboe@kernel.org>
ARM64 ELF objects contain $d/$x mapping symbols (STT_NOTYPE) at offset 0
in data/text sections. These aren't "real" symbols so filter them from
find_symbol_by_offset(), consistent with the existing section symbol
filter.
