Subject: objtool/klp: Don't set sym->file for section symbols
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=8d4cbb6d0caf03b0a22be4d6d2198a9edac46517;p=thirdparty%2Flinux.git

objtool/klp: Don't set sym->file for section symbols

Section symbols aren't grouped after their corresponding FILE symbols.
Their sym->file should really be NULL rather than whatever random FILE
happened to be last.
