[ Upstream commit1d1a0e7c51] There have been some recent reports of faddr2line failures: $ scripts/faddr2line sound/soundcore.ko sound_devnode+0x5/0x35 bad symbol size: base: 0x0000000000000000 end: 0x0000000000000000 $ ./scripts/faddr2line vmlinux.o enter_from_user_mode+0x24 bad symbol size: base: 0x0000000000005fe0 end: 0x0000000000005fe0 The problem is that faddr2line is based on 'nm', which has a major limitation: it doesn't know how to distinguish between different text sections. So if an offset exists in multiple text sections in the object, it may fail. Rewrite faddr2line to be section-aware, by basing it on readelf.

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 Restructured Text 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.
