            Bug ID: 23747
           Summary: Unknown  section .note.Linux in kernel module cause
                    tests with --all-modules to fail to compile
           Product: systemtap
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: translator
          Assignee: systemtap at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: wcohen at redhat dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

On x86_64 Fedora rawhide running kernel-4.19.0-0.rc6.git4.1.fc30.x86_64 a
number of the testsuite/systemtap.example script fail when using --all-modules
like the following ioctl_handler.stp test:

meta taglines 'test_check: stap -p4 ioctl_handler.stp --all-modules' tag
'test_check' value 'stap -p4 ioctl_handler.stp --all-modules'
attempting command stap -p4 ioctl_handler.stp --all-modules
OUT snd_pcm has unknown section .note.Linux for sym _note_6
child process exited abnormally
RC 1
FAIL: systemtap.examples/profiling/ioctl_handler build

It appears that the problem is triggered by problem dwarf information read in
when using the "--all-modules" option:

--- Comment #1 from Mark Wielaard <mark at klomp dot org> ---
This comes from dump_symbol_tables () in translate.cxx.

Under:

  // We are only interested in "real" symbols.
  // We omit symbols that have suspicious addresses
  // (before base, or after end).

[...]

                {
                  assert (secname != NULL);
                  // secname adequately set

                  // NB: it may be an empty string for ET_DYN objects
                  // like shared libraries, as their relocation base
                  // is implicit.
                  if (secname[0] == '\0')
                    secname = ".dynamic";
                  else
                    {
                      // Compute our section number
                      for (secidx = 0; secidx < c->seclist.size(); secidx++)
                        if (c->seclist[secidx].first==secname)
                          break;

                      if (secidx == c->seclist.size()) // whoa! We messed up...
                        {
                          string m = _F("%s has unknown section %s for sym %s",
                                        modname, secname, name);
                          throw runtime_error(m);
                        }
                    }
                }
