scripts/faddr2line: Fix overlapping text section failures
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.
