    perf symbols: Fixup symbol sizes before picking best ones · 432746f8
    Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
    When we call symbol__fixup_duplicate() we use algorithms to pick the
    "best" symbols for cases where there are various functions/aliases to an
    address, and those check zero size symbols, which, before calling
    symbol__fixup_end() are _all_ symbols in a just parsed kallsyms file.
    
    So first fixup the end, then fixup the duplicates.
    
    Found while trying to figure out why 'perf test vmlinux' failed, see the
    output of 'perf test -v vmlinux' to see cases where the symbols picked
    as best for vmlinux don't match the ones picked for kallsyms.
