Use the .o file and it'll work:

$ ./objdump-func.sh defconfig-build/vmlinux.o rewind_stack_and_make_dead
0000 0000000000001380 <rewind_stack_and_make_dead>:
0000     1380:  31 ed                   xor    %ebp,%ebp
0002     1382:  65 48 8b 04 25 00 00 00 00      mov    %gs:0x0,%rax     1387: R_X86_64_32S      cpu_current_top_of_stack
000b     138b:  48 8d a0 58 ff ff ff    lea    -0xa8(%rax),%rsp
0012     1392:  e8 00 00 00 00          call   1397 <preempt_schedule_thunk>    1393: R_X86_64_PLT32    make_task_dead-0x4


Now the first coloumn is the symbol relative offset, while the second
column is the section relative offset objdump normally gives you.
