     [PATCH] Avoid false-positive mem_section validation with vmlinux
5a6191
     
5a6191
     Currently get_mem_section() validates if SYMBOL(mem_section) is the address
5a6191
     of the mem_section array first.  But there was a report that the first
5a6191
     validation wrongly returned TRUE with -x vmlinux and SPARSEMEM_EXTREME
5a6191
     (4.15+) on s390x.  This leads to crash failing statup with the following
5a6191
     seek error:
5a6191
     
5a6191
       crash: seek error: kernel virtual address: 67fffc2800  type: "memory section root table"
5a6191
     
5a6191
     Skip the first validation when satisfying the conditions.
