I tested v2 on top of the LTO tree and with allyesconfig + relevant
crypto configs disabled, and I only see the warnings I reported
earlier.

I also tested this on top of the CFI tree and with LTO+CFI enabled, I
can reproduce the segfault Sedat reported in the previous thread. This
happens because find_unsuffixed_func is called with a NULL sym in
read_relocs:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
find_unsuffixed_func (elf=elf@...ry=0x7ffff55a5010, sym=0x0,
suffix=0x416cbf ".cfi_jt", func=func@...ry=0x7fffffffd5f0) at
elf.c:274
274             loc = strstr(sym->name, suffix);
(gdb) bt
#0  find_unsuffixed_func (elf=elf@...ry=0x7ffff55a5010, sym=0x0,
suffix=0x416cbf ".cfi_jt", func=func@...ry=0x7fffffffd5f0) at
elf.c:274
#1  0x000000000040d8f8 in read_relocs (elf=0x7ffff55a5010) at elf.c:637
...

In this specific case, find_func_by_offset returns NULL for
.text..L.cfi.jumptable.43 at addend 0x8, because Clang doesn't emit
jump table symbols for static functions:

Nick, do you remember if there were plans to change this?
