Josh Poimboeuf 157d7d16f8 objtool: Fix weak symbol detection
[ Upstream commit 72567c630d ]

find_symbol_hole_containing() fails to find a symbol hole (aka stripped
weak symbol) if its section has no symbols before the hole.  This breaks
weak symbol detection if -ffunction-sections is enabled.

Fix that by allowing the interval tree to contain section symbols, which
are always at offset zero for a given section.

Fixes a bunch of (-ffunction-sections) warnings like:

  vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: .text.__x64_sys_io_setup+0x10: unreachable instruction

Fixes: 4adb236867 ("objtool: Ignore extra-symbol code")

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
