perf symbols: Add symbol for .plt header
perf expands the _init symbol over .plt because there are no PLT symbols at that point, but then dso__synthesize_plt_symbols() creates them. Fix by truncating the previous symbol and inserting a symbol for .plt header. Example: Before: $ perf test --dso `which uname` -v Symbols 74: Symbols : --- start --- test child forked, pid 191028 Problems creating module maps, continuing anyway... Testing /usr/bin/uname Overlapping symbols: 2000-25f0 g _init 2040-2050 g free@plt test child finished with -1 ---- end ---- Symbols: FAILED! $ perf test --dso `which uname` -vv Symbols 2>/tmp/cmp1.txt After: $ perf test --dso `which uname` -v Symbols 74: Symbols : --- start --- test child forked, pid 194291 Testing /usr/bin/uname test child finished with 0 ---- end ---- Symbols: Ok $ perf test --dso `which uname` -vv Symbols 2>/tmp/cmp2.txt $ diff /tmp/cmp1.txt /tmp/cmp2.txt 4,5c4 < test child forked, pid 191031 < Problems creating module maps, continuing anyway... --- > test child forked, pid 194296 9c8,9 < 2000-25f0 g _init --- > 2000-2030 g _init > 2030-2040 g .plt 100,103c100 < Overlapping symbols: < 2000-25f0 g _init < 2040-2050 g free@plt < test child finished with -1 --- > test child finished with 0 105c102 < Symbols: FAILED! --- > Symbols: Ok $ Signed-off-by: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Acked-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230120123456.12449-8-adrian.hunter@intel.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
