Test "object code reading" fails sometimes for kernel address as below:
Reading object code for memory address: 0xc000000000004c3c
File is: [kernel.kallsyms]
On file address is: 0x14c3c
dso__data_read_offset failed
test child finished with -1
---- end ----
Object code reading: FAILED!
Here dso__data_read_offset() fails for symbol address
0xc000000000004c3c. This is because the DSO long_name here is
"[kernel.kallsyms]" and hence open_dso() fails to open this file. There
is an incorrect DSO to map handling here. The key points here are:
- The DSO long_name is set to "[kernel.kallsyms]". This file is
not present and hence returns error
- The DSO binary type is set to DSO_BINARY_TYPE__NOT_FOUND
- The DSO adjust_symbols member is set to zero
In the end dso__data_read_offset() returns -1 and the address 0x14c3c
can not be resolved. Hence the test fails. But the address actually maps
to the kernel DSO

Disassembly of section .head.text:
c000000000004c3c <exc_virt_0x4c00_system_call+0x3c>:

Fix dso__process_kernel_symbol() to set the binary_type and
adjust_symbols members. dso->adjust_symbols is used by
map__rip_2objdump() which converts the symbol start address to the
objdump address. Also set dso->long_name in dso__load_vmlinux().

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.
