If a function lives in a section other than .text, but .text also exists
in the object, faddr2line may wrongly assume .text. This can result in
comically wrong output. For example:
$ scripts/faddr2line vmlinux.o enter_from_user_mode+0x1c
enter_from_user_mode+0x1c/0x30:
find_next_bit at /home/jpoimboe/git/linux/./include/linux/find.h:40
(inlined by) perf_clear_dirty_counters at /home/jpoimboe/git/linux/arch/x86/events/core.c:2504
Fix it by passing the section name to addr2line, unless the object file
is vmlinux, in which case the symbol table uses absolute addresses.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
