Josh Poimboeuf 795cc5b2b5 scripts/faddr2line: Fix overlapping text section failures
[ Upstream commit 1d1a0e7c5100d332583e20b40aa8c0a8ed3d7849 ]

There have been some recent reports of faddr2line failures:

  $ scripts/faddr2line sound/soundcore.ko sound_devnode+0x5/0x35
  bad symbol size: base: 0x0000000000000000 end: 0x0000000000000000

  $ ./scripts/faddr2line vmlinux.o enter_from_user_mode+0x24
  bad symbol size: base: 0x0000000000005fe0 end: 0x0000000000005fe0

The problem is that faddr2line is based on 'nm', which has a major
limitation: it doesn't know how to distinguish between different text
sections.  So if an offset exists in multiple text sections in the
object, it may fail.

Rewrite faddr2line to be section-aware, by basing it on readelf.
