(M) symbols: expand all kernel module symtable if not all expanded pr…

…eviously There is an issue that, for kernel modules, "dis -rl" fails to display modules code line number data after execute "bt" command in crash.

For the stacktrace of "dis -rl", it calls dw2_expand_all_symtabs() to expand all symtable of the objfile, or "*.ko.debug" in our case. However for the stacktrace of "bt", it doesn't expand all, but only a subset of symtable which is enough to find a symbol by dw2_lookup_symbol(). As a result, the objfile->compunit_symtabs, which is the head of a single linked list of struct compunit_symtab, is not NULL but didn't contain all symtables. It will not be reinitialized in gdb_get_line_number() by "dis -rl" because !objfile_has_full_symbols(objfile) check will fail, so it cannot display the proper code line number data. Since objfile_has_full_symbols(objfile) check cannot ensure all symbols been expanded, this patch add a new member as a flag for struct objfile to record if all symbols have been expanded. The flag will be set only ofter expand_all_symtabs been called. Signed-off-by: Tao Liu <[email protected]>
