perf machine: Don't ignore _etext when not a text symbol
Depending on how vmlinux.lds is written, _etext might be the very first data symbol instead of the very last text symbol. Don't require it to be a text symbol, accept any symbol type. Comitter notes: See the first Link for further discussion, but it all boils down to this: --- # grep -e _stext -e _etext -e _edata /proc/kallsyms c0000000 T _stext c08b8000 D _etext So there is no _edata and _etext is not text $ ppc-linux-objdump -x vmlinux | grep -e _stext -e _etext -e _edata c0000000 g .head.text 00000000 _stext c08b8000 g .rodata 00000000 _etext c1378000 g .sbss 00000000 _edata --- Fixes: ed9adb20 ("perf machine: Read also the end of the kernel") Signed-off-by:Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@csgroup.eu> Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Kan Liang <kan.liang@linux.intel.com> Cc: linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org Cc: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Song Liu <songliubraving@fb.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/b3ee1994d95257cb7f2de037c5030ba7d1bed404.1736327613.git.christophe.leroy@csgroup.eu Signed-off-by:
