From 8799ebce84d672aae1dc3170510f6a3e66f96b11 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Namhyung Kim namhyung@kernel.org Date: Fri, 15 Apr 2022 17:40:47 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] perf symbol: Update symbols__fixup_end()
Now arch-specific functions all do the same thing. When it fixes the symbol address it needs to check the boundary between the kernel image and modules. For the last symbol in the previous region, it cannot know the exact size as it's discarded already. Thus it just uses a small page size (4096) and rounds it up like the last symbol.
