Thanks for sharing the steps, I can reproduce the issue.
I tried to add more logs to dump and hope can find specific pattern for
these symbols, one thing I observed that if a symbol fails to find
program header, it has the same values for st_value, shdr.sh_addr and
shdr.sh_offset: all of them are 0x40. So that means if with you
proposed change in below, then we will get the file address is:
file_addr = st_value - shdr.sh_addr + shdr.sh_offset = 0x40
Seems to me this is not reasonable: perf tries to add many symbols
with the same file address 0x40.

So far we don't answer a question is what's the purpose for these JAVA
symbols. I checked these symbols and concluded as:
- They are not label, this is because sym.st_info is 0x2, so its
symbol type is STT_FUNC;
- They are from ".text" section;
- Symbol visibility is STV_DEFAULT;
- Symbol's section index number is 0x1, which is different from some
special sections (STV_DEFAULT/SHN_COMMON/SHN_UNDEF/SHN_XINDEX).
This is a rough summary, these symbols are likewise the normal function
symbols, but they have special st_value (0x40) and has no matched the
program header for them.
If we rollback to use old offsets to calculate the symbol file address,
it still is incorrect.
I list all relevant symbols in: https://termbin.com/s0fb, for a reliable
fixing, could anyone with java experience shed some lights for handling
the symbols?
On the other hand, I can accept to simply change pr_warning() to
pr_debug4() to avoid warning flood, the log still can help us to find
potential symbol parsing issue, so far they are not false-positive
reporting.
Thanks,
Leo
