[PATCH v2] recordmcount: Correct st_shndx handling

From: Mark-PK Tsai
Date: Tue Jun 15 2021 - 02:47:47 EST


One should only use st_shndx when >SHN_UNDEF and <SHN_LORESERVE. When
SHN_XINDEX, then use .symtab_shndx. Otherwise use 0.

This handles the case: st_shndx >= SHN_LORESERVE && st_shndx != SHN_XINDEX.
