Subject: [PATCH] kernel/module.c: fix for symbol decode in stack trace for
stripped modules
If kernel modules are stripped off symbols (say built by using strip --
strip-unneeded) then stack traces in dmesg do not show module name or
symbol name for addresses. It just prints absolute address ( without any
reference of module)
e.g.
[245864.699580] do_nmi+0x12f/0x370
[245864.699583] end_repeat_nmi+0x16/0x50

[245864.699594] </NMI>
Note RIP: 0010:0xffffffffc06b67ec and 0xffffffffc06b67ec printed in above
stack trace as absolute address.
There is no easy way in case box crashes as we loose /proc/modules to see
load address of modules to map address to one specific module. It will be
really good to give some hint of module and offset inside module section
about such addresses.
so changed kernel/module.c so that it can decode address to _MODULE_START_+
offset/size or _MODULE_INIT_+offset/size depending on where the address
lies (in core/.text or init/.init.text section of module).
e.g. nfnm_queue_net_init+0x2f1/0x393 [nfnetmap_queue] printed in case of
symbols present shows up as 0010:0xffffffffc06b67ec in case symbols are
absent. With modified logic, it will be shown as _MODULE_INIT_+0x2f1/0x393
[nfnetmap_queue]
This will help for developer to debug and map this to actual nfnm_queue_net
_init symbol later. One can use objdump/readelf/nm to find symbols with
offset in .init.text and .text sections.
tests done:
===========
1. added WARN_ON_ONE(1) in init_module of a module

2. added a call to sprint_symbol in a module
---------------------------------------------
$ decode for symbol nfnm_queue_flush+16:
_MODULE_START_+0x7e0/0x1daa [nfnetmap_queue] <======
$ nm nfnetmap_queue.ko | grep _flush
00000000000007d0 t nfnm_queue_flush
0x7d0 + 16d = 0x7e0 so this offset maps to symbol nfnm_queue_flush
tested on kernel 4.14.38
