https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D232829 Bug ID: 232829 Summary: Kernel debugger only reads .dynsym even if .symtab exists Product: Base System Version: CURRENT Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: kern Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: arichardson@FreeBSD.org The .symtab section contains all symbols (but may be stripped so is not necessarily present) whereas .dynsym only contains the exported symbols (i.= e. not static). This causes backtraces to report some_other_function+large_offset if the backtrace pc is inside static function. If .symtab is present, link_elf_search_symbol() should be checking .symtab instead of .dynsymtab. However, it seems like ef->ddbsymtab always points to .dynsym a= nd since I am not familiar with that code I couldn't see an easy way of using .symtab instead if it is available. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
