    perf symbols: Allow for static executables with .plt · a1ab1285
    Adrian Hunter authored
    A statically linked executable can have a .plt due to IFUNCs, in which
    case .symtab is used not .dynsym. Check the section header link to see
    if that is the case, and then use symtab instead.
    
    Example:
    
      Before:
    
        $ cat tstifunc.c
        #include <stdio.h>
    
        void thing1(void)
        {
                printf("thing1\n");
        }
    
        void thing2(void)
        {
                printf("thing2\n");
        }
    
        typedef void (*thing_fn_t)(void);
    
        thing_fn_t thing_ifunc(void)
        {
                int x;
    
                if (x & 1)
                        return thing2;
                return thing1;
        }
    
        void thing(void) __attribute__ ((ifunc ("thing_ifunc")));
    
        int main()
        {
                thing();
                return 0;
        }
