Have dump_syms output the full symbol table.
Some of the symbols in the stack trace are not found in the .dynsym section but were located in the full symbol table .symtab section instead. This was causing some of our stack traces to be incomplete or point to incorrect function names. Since we only output function names, there are actually not that many more symbols located in .symtab that aren't in .dynsym. It is better to simply output all symbols found so our stack traces are complete. R=mark@chromium.org, thestig@chromium.org BUG=561447 Review URL: https://codereview.chromium.org/1824063002 . Patch from David Yen <dyen@chromium.org>.
