Commit 882528d
perf symbol: Skip symbols if SHF_ALLOC flag is not set
Some symbols are observed with the 'st_value' field zeroed. E.g.
libc.so.6 in Ubuntu contains a symbol '__evoke_link_warning_getwd' which
resides in the '.gnu.warning.getwd' section.
Unlike normal sections, such kind of sections are used for linker
warning when a file calls deprecated functions, but they are not part of
memory images, the symbols in these sections should be dropped.
This patch checks the section attribute SHF_ALLOC bit, if the bit is not
set, it skips symbols to avoid spurious ones.
