tools lib bpf: Fetch map names from correct strtab
Namhyung Kim pointed out a potential problem in original code that it fetches names of maps from section header string table, which is used to store section names. Original code doesn't cause error because of a LLVM behavior that, it combines shstrtab into strtab. For example: $ echo 'int func() {return 0;}' | x86_64-oe-linux-clang -x c -o temp.o -c - $ readelf -h ./temp.o ELF Header: Magic: 7f 45 4c 46 02 01 01 03 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ... Section header string table index: 1 $ readelf -S ./temp.o There are 10 section headers, starting at offset 0x288: Section Headers: [Nr] Name Type Address Offset Size EntSize Flags Link Info Align [ 0] NULL 0000000000000000 00000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0 0 0 [ 1] .strtab STRTAB 0000000000000000 00000230 0000000000000051 0000000000000000 0 0 1 ... $ readelf -p .strtab ./temp.o String dump of section '.strtab': [ 1] .text [ 7] .comment [ 10] .bss [ 15] .note.GNU-stack [ 25] .rela.eh_frame [ 34] func [ 39] .strtab [ 41] .symtab [ 49] .data [ 4f] - $ readelf -p .shstrtab ./temp.o readelf: Warning: Section '.shstrtab' was not dumped because it does not exist! Where, 'section header string table index' points to '.strtab', and symbol names are also stored there. However, in case of gcc: $ echo 'int func() {return 0;}' | gcc -x c -o temp.o -c - $ readelf -p .shstrtab ./temp.o String dump of section '.shstrtab': [ 1] .symtab [ 9] .strtab [ 11] .shstrtab [ 1b] .text [ 21] .data [ 27] .bss [ 2c] .comment [ 35] .note.GNU-stack [ 45] .rela.eh_frame $ readelf -p .strtab ./temp.o String dump of section '.strtab': [ 1] func They are separated sections. Although original code doesn't cause error, we'd better use canonical method for fetching symbol names to avoid potential behavior changing. This patch learns from readelf's code, fetches string from sh_link of .symbol section.
