libdwfl: Introduce dwfl_module_getsym_info and dwfl_module_addrinfo.
Some arches like ppc64 use function descriptor values instead of function addresses causing matching of names and addresses to fail when using dwfl_module_getsym or dwfl_module_addrsym. Add ebl hook to resolve any function descriptor values found in non-ET_REL modules. The new function dwfl_module_getsym_info doesn't adjust the symbol value in any way, but returns the adjusted and/or resolved address associated with the symbol separately. The new function dwfl_module_addrinfo resolves against both the address associated with the symbol (which could be the function entry address) value and the adjusted st_value. So that it is easy to resolve and match either function descriptors and/or function entry addresses. Since these new functions also return more information they replace the dwfl_module_getsym_elf and dwfl_module_addrsym_elf functions that never made it into a released elfutils version. addr2line and readelf now use the new functions when looking up functions names. addr2line will now also display the section the address was found in when given -x. Extra testcases were added for both addr2line and the dwflsyms testscase. Signed-off-by: Mark Wielaard <[email protected]>
