Building with the Clang assembler shows the following warning:
arch/x86/kernel/ftrace_64.o: warning: objtool: missing symbol for insn at offset 0x16
The Clang assembler strips section symbols. That ends up giving
objtool's find_func_containing() much more test coverage than normal.
Turns out, find_func_containing() doesn't work so well for overlapping
symbols:
2: 000000000000000e 0 NOTYPE LOCAL DEFAULT 2 fgraph_trace
3: 000000000000000f 0 NOTYPE LOCAL DEFAULT 2 trace
4: 0000000000000000 165 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 2 __fentry__
5: 000000000000000e 0 NOTYPE GLOBAL DEFAULT 2 ftrace_stub
The zero-length NOTYPE symbols are inside __fentry__(), confusing the
rbtree search for any __fentry__() offset coming after a NOTYPE.
Try to avoid this problem by not adding zero-length symbols to the
rbtree. They're rare and aren't needed in the rbtree anyway.
One caveat, this actually might not end up being the right fix.
Non-empty overlapping symbols, if they exist, could have the same
problem. But that would need bigger changes, let's see if we can get
away with the easy fix for now.
