[PATCH 2/3] perf symbol-elf: Decode dynsym even if symtab exists

From: Masami Hiramatsu
Date: Sat Jul 03 2021 - 11:35:36 EST


In Fedora34, libc-2.33.so has both .dynsym and .symtab sections and
most of (not all) symbols moved to .dynsym. In this case, perf only
decode the symbols in .symtab, and perf probe can not list up the
functions in the library.

To fix this issue, decode both .symtab and .dynsym sections.

Without this fix,
-----
$ ./perf probe -x /usr/lib64/libc-2.33.so -F
@plt
@plt
calloc@plt
free@plt
malloc@plt
memalign@plt
realloc@plt
-----

With this fix.

-----
$ ./perf probe -x /usr/lib64/libc-2.33.so -F
@plt
@plt
a64l
abort
abs
accept
accept4
