Tom de Vries df1de06415 [libbacktrace] Unify function name preference handling
Both read_function_entry and read_referenced_name implement a priority scheme
for names.  The priorities are:
- 1st: DW_AT_linkage_name
- 2nd: Name from DW_AT_abstract_origin or DW_AT_specification
- 3rd: DW_AT_name.

Ensure both functions fully adhere to it.

2019-01-16  Tom de Vries  <tdevries@suse.de>

	* dwarf.c (read_referenced_name): Don't allow DW_AT_name to override any
	name.
	(read_function_entry): Same.  Don't allow name found via
	DW_AT_abstract_origin or case DW_AT_specification to override linkage
	name.

README

The libbacktrace library
Initially written by Ian Lance Taylor <iant@google.com>

The libbacktrace library may be linked into a program or library and
used to produce symbolic backtraces.  Sample uses would be to print a
detailed backtrace when an error occurs or to gather detailed
profiling information.

The libbacktrace library is provided under a BSD license.  See the
source files for the exact license text.

The public functions are declared and documented in the header file
backtrace.h, which should be #include'd by a user of the library.

Building libbacktrace will generate a file backtrace-supported.h,
which a user of the library may use to determine whether backtraces
will work.  See the source file backtrace-supported.h.in for the
macros that it defines.

As of September 2012, libbacktrace only supports ELF executables with
DWARF debugging information.  The library is written to make it
straightforward to add support for other object file and debugging
formats.
