[ Upstream commit 72567c630d32bc31f671977f78228c80937ed80e ]
find_symbol_hole_containing() fails to find a symbol hole (aka stripped weak symbol) if its section has no symbols before the hole. This breaks weak symbol detection if -ffunction-sections is enabled.
Fix that by allowing the interval tree to contain section symbols, which are always at offset zero for a given section.
Fixes a bunch of (-ffunction-sections) warnings like:
vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: .text.__x64_sys_io_setup+0x10: unreachable instruction
