[PATCH v2 2/7] scripts/faddr2line: Combine three readelf calls into one
From: Brian Johannesmeyer
Date: Mon Apr 15 2024 - 10:56:10 EST
Rather than calling readelf three separate times to collect three different
types of info, call it only once, and parse out the different types of info
from its output.
