Subject: [PATCH] kallsyms: store type information in its own array
Date:   Mon, 25 Feb 2019 11:59:58 -0800
Message-Id: <1551124798-12712-1-git-send-email-eugene.loh@oracle.com>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

From: Eugene Loh <eugene.loh@oracle.com>

When a module is loaded, its symbols' Elf_Sym information is stored
in a symtab.  Further, type information is also captured.  Since
Elf_Sym has no type field, historically the st_info field has been
hijacked for storing type:  st_info was overwritten.

commit 5439c985c5a83a8419f762115afdf560ab72a452 ("module: Overwrite
st_size instead of st_info") changes that practice, as its one-liner
indicates.  Unfortunately, this change overwrites symbol size,
information that a tool like DTrace expects to find.

Allocate a typetab array to store type information so that no Elf_Sym
field needs to be overwritten.

Fixes: 5439c985c5a8 ("module: Overwrite st_size instead of st_info")
