    perf symbols: Remove unused 'end' arg in kallsyms parse cb · 82151520
    Cody P Schafer authored
    kallsyms__parse() takes a callback that is called on every discovered
    symbol. As /proc/kallsyms does not supply symbol sizes, the callback was
    simply called with end=start, faking the symbol size to 1.
    
    All of the callbacks (there are 2) used in calls to kallsyms__parse()
    are _only_ used as callbacks for kallsyms__parse().
    
    Given that kallsyms__parse() lacks real information about what
    end/length should be, don't make up a length in kallsyms__parse().
    Instead have the callbacks handle guessing the length.
    
    Also relocate a comment regarding symbol creation to the callback which
    does symbol creation (kallsyms__parse() is not in general used to create
    symbols).
