From 1c7651f43777cdd59c1aaa82c87324d3e7438c7b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eugene Loh Date: Mon, 25 Feb 2019 11:59:58 -0800 Subject: kallsyms: store type information in its own array When a module is loaded, its symbols' Elf_Sym information is stored in a symtab. Further, type information is also captured. Since Elf_Sym has no type field, historically the st_info field has been hijacked for storing type: st_info was overwritten. commit 5439c985c5a83a8419f762115afdf560ab72a452 ("module: Overwrite st_size instead of st_info") changes that practice, as its one-liner indicates. Unfortunately, this change overwrites symbol size, information that a tool like DTrace expects to find. Allocate a typetab array to store type information so that no Elf_Sym field needs to be overwritten.
