perf expands the _init symbol over .plt because there are no PLT symbols
at that point, but then dso__synthesize_plt_symbols() creates them.
Fix by truncating the previous symbol and inserting a symbol for .plt
header.
Example:
Before:
$ perf test --dso `which uname` -v Symbols
74: Symbols :
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 191028
Problems creating module maps, continuing anyway...
Testing /usr/bin/uname
Overlapping symbols:
2000-25f0 g _init
2040-2050 g free@plt
test child finished with -1
---- end ----
Symbols: FAILED!
$ perf test --dso `which uname` -vv Symbols 2>/tmp/cmp1.txt
After:
$ perf test --dso `which uname` -v Symbols
74: Symbols :
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 194291
Testing /usr/bin/uname
test child finished with 0
---- end ----
Symbols: Ok
$ perf test --dso `which uname` -vv Symbols 2>/tmp/cmp2.txt
$ diff /tmp/cmp1.txt /tmp/cmp2.txt

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.
