Kernelcache does not contain LINKINFO.__

[turnerrocks1]

This is an old-style A9 kernelcache (Darwin Kernel Version 18.2.0: Wed Dec 19 20:28:52 PST 2018; root:xnu-4903.242.2~1/RELEASE_ARM64_S8000)

Straight from the "/System/Library/caches/com.apple.kernelcaches"

This is what the segment names are when decompiled

oops forgot the command line : "
bootywarrior@Bootys-MacBook-Air Desktop % /Users/bootywarrior/Downloads/ipsw_3.1.32_macOS_arm64/ipsw kernel symbolsets kernel.decrypted
⨯ kernelcache does NOT contain __LINKINFO.__symbolsets
"

So I'm not even sure what symbolsets ARE. They just showed up I think in iOS14 so I thought I'd parse them in case anyone cared? 🤷 So that older kernelcache might have a __LINKINFO segment but NOT a __symbolsets section in that segment.

FYI, you can also get the kernel's segments by running:

> ipsw macho info /System/Library/caches/com.apple.kernelcaches/kernelcache_arm64e
