commit 16fa414aff02365534b7bbeab281c731b9c4497d
Author: Mark Wielaard <mjw@redhat.com>
Date: Thu Aug 22 13:45:16 2013 +0200
libdwfl/linux-kernel-modules.c (report_kernel): Pass add_p_vaddr as true.
On some architectures (e.g. x86_64) the vmlinux is ET_EXEC, while on
others (e.g. ppc64) it is ET_DYN. In both cases the phdr p_vaddr will
be non-zero. We want the image to be placed as if it was ET_DYN, so
pass true for add_p_vaddr which will do the right thing (in combination
with a zero base) in either case.
