Hello, recent gcc and dwarfdump versions output symbols in a format not implemented by Volatility2. You can try to patch it yourself. Check valid "DW_AT_byte_size" format from another dump/profile and edit volatility/volatility/dwarf.py#L201 to match the ones from your profile.

Ultimately, you should try using Volatility3, as it won't have any problem with this kernel version :) .

So how should I edit volatility/volatility/dwarf.py？

I think at the bottom of the README there is a patch by him:

Hi, this patch applies to another issue, but it might help to implement the one needed in your case 👍
