===========
When there are more than one symbols at the same address, it needs to
choose which one is better. In choose_best_symbol() it didn't check the
type of symbols. It's possible to have labels in other symbols and in
that case, it would be better to pick the actual symbol over the labels.
To minimize the possible impact on other symbols, I only check NOTYPE
symbols specifically.
$ readelf -sW vmlinux | grep -e __do_softirq -e __softirqentry_text_start
105089: ffffffff82000000 814 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 1 __do_softirq
111954: ffffffff82000000 0 NOTYPE GLOBAL DEFAULT 1 __softirqentry_text_start
The commit 77b004f tried to do the same by not giving the size
to the label symbols but it seems there's some label-only symbols in asm
code. Let's restore the original code and choose the right symbol using
type of the symbols.
Fixes: 77b004f ("perf symbol: Do not fixup end address of labels")
