Works for me. At least from our previous discussion, it seemed like backporting would be laborious, which is why I offered this alternative patch. But if we can just backport the series, then there's no reason to not do so.
Thanks, Sahil

I guess it is loosely based on 4acda8edefa1 ("scripts/sorttable: Get start/stop_mcount_loc from ELF file directly"), which may take a bit of work to backport (or we just add everything that this commit depends on).
And looking at what was done, it was my rewrite of the sorttable.c code.
If it's OK to backport a rewrite, then we could just do that.
See commits:

Backport away!
Actually, I only did a git log on scripts/sorttable.c. I left out sorttable.h which gives me this list:
