Subject: [PATCH 7/9] perf symbols: Allow for static executables with .plt
A statically linked executable can have a .plt due to IFUNCs, in which
case .symtab is used not .dynsym. Check the section header link to see
if that is the case, and then use symtab instead.
Example:
Before:
$ cat tstifunc.c
#include <stdio.h>
void thing1(void)
{
printf("thing1\n");
}
void thing2(void)
{
printf("thing2\n");
}
typedef void (*thing_fn_t)(void);
thing_fn_t thing_ifunc(void)
{
int x;
if (x & 1)
return thing2;
return thing1;
}
void thing(void) __attribute__ ((ifunc ("thing_ifunc")));
int main()
{
thing();
return 0;
}
