[PATCH 5.14 342/849] libbpf: Dont crash on object files with no symbol tables

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Toke Høiland-Jørgensen <toke@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 03e601f48b2da6fb44d0f7b86957a8f6bacfb347 ]

If libbpf encounters an ELF file that has been stripped of its symbol
table, it will crash in bpf_object__add_programs() when trying to
dereference the obj->efile.symbols pointer.

Fix this by erroring out of bpf_object__elf_collect() if it is not able
able to find the symbol table.

v2:
  - Move check into bpf_object__elf_collect() and add nice error message

Fixes: 6245947c1b3c ("libbpf: Allow gaps in BPF program sections to support overriden weak functions")
