Subject: [PATCH v4 17/63] objtool: Add empty symbols to the symbol tree again
Date: Wed, 17 Sep 2025 09:03:25 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <457c2e84b81bd6515aaa60ec8e9e0cc892ed7afa.1758067942.git.jpoimboe@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1758067942.git.jpoimboe@kernel.org>
The following commit
5da6aea375cd ("objtool: Fix find_{symbol,func}_containing()")
fixed the issue where overlapping symbols weren't getting sorted
properly in the symbol tree. Therefore the workaround to skip adding
empty symbols from the following commit
a2e38dffcd93 ("objtool: Don't add empty symbols to the rbtree")
is no longer needed.
