H A Dsymbol-elf.cdiff 432746f8e0b6a82ba832b771afe31abd51af6752 Thu Sep 01 16:00:23 CEST 2016 Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> perf symbols: Fixup symbol sizes before picking best ones

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.
