module: fix out-by-one error in kallsyms
commit 59ef28b1f14899b10d6b2682c7057ca00a9a3f47 upstream. Masaki found and patched a kallsyms issue: the last symbol in a module's symtab wasn't transferred. This is because we manually copy the zero'th entry (which is always empty) then copy the rest in a loop starting at 1, though from src[0]. His fix was minimal, I prefer to rewrite the loops in more standard form. There are two loops: one to get the size, and one to copy. Make these identical: always count entry 0 and any defined symbol in an allocated non-init section. This bug exists since the following commit was introduced. module: reduce symbol table for loaded modules (v2) commit: 4a4962263f07d14660849ec134ee42b63e95ea9a LKML: http://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/24/27 Reported-by: Masaki Kimura <masaki.kimura.kz@hitachi.com> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> [bwh: Backported to 3.2: we're still using a bitmap to compress the string table] Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk>
