Before this patch, the symbol end address fixup to be called, needed two
conditions being met:
if (prev->end == prev->start && prev->end != curr->start)
Where
"prev->end == prev->start" means that prev is zero-long
(and thus needs a fixup)
and
"prev->end != curr->start" means that fixup hasn't been applied yet
However, this logic is incorrect in the following situation:
*curr = {rb_node = {__rb_parent_color = 278218928,
rb_right = 0x0, rb_left = 0x0},
start = 0xc000000000062354,
end = 0xc000000000062354, namelen = 40, type = 2 '\002',
binding = 0 '\000', idle = 0 '\000', ignore = 0 '\000',
inlined = 0 '\000', arch_sym = 0 '\000', annotate2 = false,
name = 0x1159739e "kprobe_optinsn_page\t[__builtin__kprobes]"}
*prev = {rb_node = {__rb_parent_color = 278219041,
rb_right = 0x109548b0, rb_left = 0x109547c0},
start = 0xc000000000062354,
end = 0xc000000000062354, namelen = 12, type = 2 '\002',
binding = 1 '\001', idle = 0 '\000', ignore = 0 '\000',
inlined = 0 '\000', arch_sym = 0 '\000', annotate2 = false,
name = 0x1095486e "optinsn_slot"}
In this case, prev->start == prev->end == curr->start == curr->end,
thus the condition above thinks that "we need a fixup due to zero
length of prev symbol, but it has been probably done, since the
prev->end == curr->start", which is wrong.
After the patch, the execution path proceeds to arch__symbols__fixup_end
function which fixes up the size of prev symbol by adding page_size to
its end offset.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
