[PATCH v2 15/62] objtool: Add empty symbols to the symbol tree again
From: Josh Poimboeuf
Date: Fri May 09 2025 - 16:20:58 EST
The following commit
5da6aea375cd ("objtool: Fix find_{symbol,func}_containing()")
fixed the issue where overlapping symbols weren't getting sorted
properly in the symbol tree. Therefore the workaround to skip adding
empty symbols from the following commit
a2e38dffcd93 ("objtool: Don't add empty symbols to the rbtree")
is no longer needed.
