Subject: [PATCH] scripts/faddr2line: Fix regression in name resolution on ppc64le

Commit 1d1a0e7c5100 ("scripts/faddr2line: Fix overlapping text section failures")
can cause scripts/faddr2line to fail on ppc64le machines on few
distributions, while working on other distributions. The failure can be
attributed to difference in readelf output on various distributions.

$ ./scripts/faddr2line vmlinux find_busiest_group+0x00
no match for find_busiest_group+0x00

Expected output was:
$ ./scripts/faddr2line vmlinux find_busiest_group+0x00
find_busiest_group+0x00/0x3d0:
find_busiest_group at kernel/sched/fair.c:9595

On ppc64le, readelf adds localentry tag before the symbol name on few
distributions and adds the localentry tag after the symbol name on few
other distributions. This problem has been discussed in the reference
URL given below. This problem can be overcome by filtering out
localentry tags in readelf output. Similar fixes are already present in
kernel by way of commits:

1fd6cee127e2 ("libbpf: Fix VERSIONED_SYM_COUNT number parsing")
aa915931ac3e ("libbpf: Fix readelf output parsing for Fedora")

Fixes: 1d1a0e7c5100 ("scripts/faddr2line: Fix overlapping text section failures")

The other instances of readelf --wide on faddr2line use --section-headers and
should not required the same mangling.

There's one usage of readelf with --file-header in faddr2line which also
doesn't need this. The extra information being printed is from st_other
and is very specific to the symbol table.

scripts/faddr2line: Fix regression in name resolution on ppc64le

Commit 1d1a0e7c5100 ("scripts/faddr2line: Fix overlapping text section
failures") can cause faddr2line to fail on ppc64le on some
distributions, while it works fine on other distributions. The failure
can be attributed to differences in the readelf output.

$ ./scripts/faddr2line vmlinux find_busiest_group+0x00
no match for find_busiest_group+0x00

On ppc64le, readelf adds the localentry tag before the symbol name on
some distributions, and adds the localentry tag after the symbol name on
other distributions. This problem has been discussed previously:

https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20191211160133.GB4580@calabresa/

This problem can be overcome by filtering out the localentry tags in the
readelf output. Similar fixes are already present in the kernel by way
of the following commits:

1fd6cee127e2 ("libbpf: Fix VERSIONED_SYM_COUNT number parsing")
aa915931ac3e ("libbpf: Fix readelf output parsing for Fedora")
