When a module is loaded, its symbols' Elf_Sym information is stored in a symtab. Further, type information is also captured. Since Elf_Sym has no type field, historically the st_info field has been hijacked for storing type: st_info was overwritten. commit 5439c985 ("module: Overwrite st_size instead of st_info") changes that practice, as its one-liner indicates. Unfortunately, this change overwrites symbol size, information that a tool like DTrace expects to find. Allocate a typetab array to store type information so that no Elf_Sym field needs to be overwritten.
