[PATCH] Make kretprobe_trampoline symbol look like a function.

[Thiago Jung Bauermann <bauerman@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

Fixes the following testsuite failure:

$ sudo ./perf test -v kallsyms

vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms: FAILED!

The problem is that the kretprobe_trampoline symbol looks like this:

$ eu-readelf -s /boot/vmlinux G kretprobe_trampoline
 2431: c000000001302368     24 NOTYPE  LOCAL  DEFAULT       37 kretprobe_trampoline_holder
 2432: c00000000003d300      8 FUNC    LOCAL  DEFAULT        1 .kretprobe_trampoline_holder
97543: c00000000003d300      0 NOTYPE  GLOBAL DEFAULT        1 kretprobe_trampoline

Its type is NOTYPE, and its size is 0, and this is a problem because
symbol-elf.c:dso__load_sym skips function symbols that are not STT_FUNC
or STT_GNU_IFUNC (this is determined by elf_sym__is_function). Even
if the type is changed to STT_FUNC, when dso__load_sym calls
symbols__fixup_duplicate, the kretprobe_trampoline symbol is dropped in
favour of .kretprobe_trampoline_holder because the latter has non-zero
size (as determined by choose_best_symbol).

With this patch, during symbol deduplication kretprobe_trampoline is
used instead of .kretprobe_trampoline_holder, making all vmlinux symbols match
/proc/kallsyms and the testcase passes.

Alternatively, I just noticed that commit c1c355c was merged and it
gets rid of kretprobe_trampoline_holder altogether on x86. I believe that
would fix this problem as well, but I don't know enough about kprobes to
know whether kretprobe_trampoline_holder has any use  on powerpc.
