X-Git-Tag: firefly_0821_release~3680^2~1401^2~73^2~32

perf symbols: Avoid segfault in elf_strptr

If we call elf_section_by_name() with a truncated elf image (ie: the
file header indicates that the section headers are placed past the end
of the file), elf_strptr() causes a segfault within libelf.

Avoid this by checking that we can access the section string table
properly.

Should really be fixed in libelf/elfutils.
