Prev: [PATCH] mmc: build fix: mmc_pm_notify is only available with CONFIG_PM=y
Next: crash (maybe kmemleak related)
From: Dave Martin on 13 Aug 2010 05:30
Fixed a minor error in v2 where a check was erronueously done
twice.

Original commit message follows:

Applies to 2.6.35
(git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux-2.6.git
perf/core branch)

The new patch loads the ELF section headers from a separate
file if necessary, to avoid getting confused by the different
section file offsets seen in debug images. Invalid section
headers are detected by checking for the presence of non-
writable SHT_NOBITS sections, which don't make sense under
normal circumstances.

In particular, this allows symbols in ET_EXEC images to get
fixed up correctly in the presence of separated debug images.

The image search loop is also tidied up to fix a minor bug
which would perform the same image load attempt more than
once in some situations.

For non-separated images, the headers should get loaded from
the same image as the symbols, in the usual way.
