2023-07-29scripts/kallsyms: Fix build failure by setting errno before calling getline()James Clark1-0/+1
getline() returns -1 at EOF as well as on error. It also doesn't set errno to 0 on success, so initialize it to 0 before using errno to check for an error condition. See the paragraph here [1]: For some system calls and library functions (e.g., getpriority(2)), -1 is a valid return on success. In such cases, a successful return can be distinguished from an error return by setting errno to zero before the call, and then, if the call returns a status that indicates that an error may have occurred, checking to see if errno has a nonzero value. Bear has a bug [2] that launches processes with errno set and causes the following build failure: $ bear -- make LLVM=1 ...

2023-07-12kallsyms: strip LTO-only suffixes from promoted global functionsYonghong Song1-3/+3
Commit 6eb4bd92c1ce ("kallsyms: strip LTO suffixes from static functions") stripped all function/variable suffixes started with '.' regardless of whether those suffixes are generated at LTO mode or not. In fact, as far as I know, in LTO mode, when a static function/variable is promoted to the global scope, '.llvm.<...>' suffix is added. The existing mechanism breaks live patch for a LTO kernel even if no <symbol>.llvm.<...> symbols are involved. For example, for the following kernel symbols: $ grep bpf_verifier_vlog /proc/kallsyms ffffffff81549f60 t bpf_verifier_vlog ffffffff8268b430 d bpf_verifier_vlog._entry ffffffff8282a958 d bpf_verifier_vlog._entry_ptr ffffffff82e12a1f d bpf_verifier_vlog.__already_done 'bpf_verifier_vlog' is a static function. '_entry', '_entry_ptr' and '__already_done' are static variables used inside 'bpf_verifier_vlog', so llvm promotes them to file-level static with prefix 'bpf_verifier_vlog.'. Note that the func-level to file-level static function promotion also happens without LTO. Given a symbol name 'bpf_verifier_vlog', with LTO kernel, current mechanism will return 4 symbols to live patch subsystem which current live patching subsystem cannot handle it. With non-LTO kernel, only one symbol is returned. In [1], we have a lengthy discussion, the suggestion is to separate two cases: (1). new symbols with suffix which are generated regardless of whether LTO is enabled or not, and (2). new symbols with suffix generated only when LTO is enabled. The cleanup_symbol_name() should only remove suffixes for case (2). Case (1) should not be changed so it can work uniformly with or without LTO. This patch removed LTO-only suffix '.llvm.<...>' so live patching and tracing should work the same way for non-LTO kernel. The cleanup_symbol_name() in scripts/kallsyms.c is also changed to have the same filtering pattern so both kernel and kallsyms tool have the same expectation on the order of symbols.

2023-04-17scripts/kallsyms: decrease expand_symbol() / cleanup_symbol_name() callsMasahiro Yamada1-18/+15
Currently, expand_symbol() is called many times to get the uncompressed symbol names for sorting, and also for adding comments. With the output order shuffled in the previous commit, the symbol data are now written in the following order: (1) kallsyms_num_syms (2) kallsyms_names <-- need compressed names (3) kallsyms_markers (4) kallsyms_token_table (5) kallsyms_token_index (6) kallsyms_addressed / kallsyms_offsets <-- need uncompressed names (for commenting) (7) kallsyms_relative_base (8) kallsyms_seq_of_names <-- need uncompressed names (for sorting) The compressed names are only needed by (2). Call expand_symbol() between (2) and (3) to restore the original symbol names. This requires just one expand_symbol() call for each symbol. Call cleanup_symbol_name() between (7) and (8) instead of during sorting. It is allowed to overwrite the ->sym field because (8) just outputs the index instead of the name of each symbol. Again, this requires just one cleanup_symbol_name() call for each symbol. This refactoring makes it ~30% faster.

The compressed names are only required for writing 'kallsyms_names'. If you do this first, we can restore the original symbol names. You do not need to repeat the same operation over again. The actual refactoring will happen in the next commit. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>

2022-11-12kallsyms: Correctly sequence symbols when CONFIG_LTO_CLANG=yZhen Lei1-2/+34
LLVM appends various suffixes for local functions and variables, suffixes observed: - foo.llvm.[0-9a-f]+ - foo.[0-9a-f]+ Therefore, when CONFIG_LTO_CLANG=y, kallsyms_lookup_name() needs to truncate the suffix of the symbol name before comparing the local function or variable name. Old implementation code: - if (strcmp(namebuf, name) == 0) - return kallsyms_sym_address(i); - if (cleanup_symbol_name(namebuf) && strcmp(namebuf, name) == 0) - return kallsyms_sym_address(i); The preceding process is traversed by address from low to high. That is, for those with the same name after the suffix is removed, the one with the smallest address is returned first. Therefore, when sorting in the tool, if the raw names are the same, they should be sorted by address in ascending order. ASCII[.] = 2e ASCII[0-9] = 30,39 ASCII[A-Z] = 41,5a ASCII[_] = 5f ASCII[a-z] = 61,7a According to the preceding ASCII code values, the following sorting result is strictly followed. --------------------------------- | main-key | sub-key | |---------------------------------| | | addr_lowest | | <name> | ... | | <name>.<suffix> | ... | | | addr_highest | |---------------------------------| | <name>?<others> | | //? is [_A-Za-z0-9] --------------------------------- Signed-off-by: Zhen Lei <thunder.leizhen@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: Luis Chamberlain <mcgrof@kernel.org>
2022-11-12kallsyms: Improve the performance of kallsyms_lookup_name()Zhen Lei1-0/+37
Currently, to search for a symbol, we need to expand the symbols in 'kallsyms_names' one by one, and then use the expanded string for comparison. It's O(n). If we sort names in ascending order like addresses, we can also use binary search. It's O(log(n)). In order not to change the implementation of "/proc/kallsyms", the table kallsyms_names[] is still stored in a one-to-one correspondence with the address in ascending order. Add array kallsyms_seqs_of_names[], it's indexed by the sequence number of the sorted names, and the corresponding content is the sequence number of the sorted addresses. For example: Assume that the index of NameX in array kallsyms_seqs_of_names[] is 'i', the content of kallsyms_seqs_of_names[i] is 'k', then the corresponding address of NameX is kallsyms_addresses[k]. The offset in kallsyms_names[] is get_symbol_offset(k). Note that the memory usage will increase by (4 * kallsyms_num_syms) bytes, the next two patches will reduce (1 * kallsyms_num_syms) bytes and properly handle the case CONFIG_LTO_CLANG=y. Performance test results: (x86) Before: min=234, max=10364402, avg=5206926 min=267, max=11168517, avg=5207587 After: min=1016, max=90894, avg=7272 min=1014, max=93470, avg=7293 The average lookup performance of kallsyms_lookup_name() improved 715x.

2022-09-28kallsyms: increase maximum kernel symbol length to 512Miguel Ojeda1-2/+2
Rust symbols can become quite long due to namespacing introduced by modules, types, traits, generics, etc. For instance, the following code: pub mod my_module { pub struct MyType; pub struct MyGenericType<T>(T); pub trait MyTrait { fn my_method() -> u32; } impl MyTrait for MyGenericType<MyType> { fn my_method() -> u32 { 42 } } } generates a symbol of length 96 when using the upcoming v0 mangling scheme: _RNvXNtCshGpAVYOtgW1_7example9my_moduleINtB2_13MyGenericTypeNtB2_6MyTypeENtB2_7MyTrait9my_method At the moment, Rust symbols may reach up to 300 in length. Setting 512 as the maximum seems like a reasonable choice to keep some headroom.

2022-02-22kallsyms: ignore all local labels prefixed by '.L'Changbin Du1-1/+1
The llvm compiler can generate lots of local labels ('.LBB', '.Ltmpxxx', '.L__unnamed_xx', etc.). These symbols usually are useless for debugging. And they might overlap with handwritten symbols. Before this change, a dumpstack shows a local symbol for epc: [ 0.040341][ T0] Hardware name: riscv-virtio,qemu (DT) [ 0.040376][ T0] epc : .LBB6_14+0x22/0x6a [ 0.040452][ T0] ra : restore_all+0x12/0x6e The simple solution is that we can ignore all local labels prefixed by '.L'. For handwritten symbols which need to be preserved should drop the '.L' prefix. After this change, the C defined symbol is shown so we can locate the problematical code immediately: [ 0.035795][ T0] Hardware name: riscv-virtio,qemu (DT) [ 0.036332][ T0] epc : trace_hardirqs_on+0x54/0x13c [ 0.036567][ T0] ra : restore_all+0x12/0x6e Signed-off-by: Changbin Du <changbin.du@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Nathan Chancellor <nathan@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Nick Desaulniers <ndesaulniers@google.com> Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>
2021-02-05kallsyms: fix nonconverging kallsyms table with lldArnd Bergmann1-0/+6
ARM randconfig builds with lld sometimes show a build failure from kallsyms: Inconsistent kallsyms data Try make KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS=1 as a workaround The problem is the veneers/thunks getting added by the linker extend the symbol table, which in turn leads to more veneers being needed, so it may take a few extra iterations to converge. This bug has been fixed multiple times before, but comes back every time a new symbol name is used. lld uses a different set of identifiers from ld.bfd, so the additional ones need to be added as well. I looked through the sources and found that arm64 and mips define similar prefixes, so I'm adding those as well, aside from the ones I observed. I'm not sure about powerpc64, which seems to already be handled through a section match, but if it comes back, the "__long_branch_" and "__plt_" prefixes would have to get added as well.

Add new folders arch/arm64/kvm/hyp/{vhe,nvhe} and Makefiles for building code that runs in EL2 under VHE/nVHE KVM, repsectivelly. Add an include folder for hyp-specific header files which will include code common to VHE/nVHE. Build nVHE code with -D__KVM_NVHE_HYPERVISOR__, VHE code with -D__KVM_VHE_HYPERVISOR__. Under nVHE compile each source file into a `.hyp.tmp.o` object first, then prefix all its symbols with "__kvm_nvhe_" using `objcopy` and produce a `.hyp.o`. Suffixes were chosen so that it would be possible for VHE and nVHE to share some source files, but compiled with different CFLAGS. The nVHE ELF symbol prefix is added to kallsyms.c as ignored. EL2-only symbols will never appear in EL1 stack traces. Due to symbol prefixing, add a section in image-vars.h for aliases of symbols that are defined in nVHE EL2 and accessed by kernel in EL1 or vice versa.

Due to a bug-report that was compiler-dependent, I updated one of my machines to gcc-10. That shows a lot of new warnings. Happily they seem to be mostly the valid kind, but it's going to cause a round of churn for getting rid of them.. This is the really low-hanging fruit of removing a couple of zero-sized arrays in some core code. We have had a round of these patches before, and we'll have many more coming, and there is nothing special about these except that they were particularly trivial, and triggered more warnings than most.

2020-03-19scripts/kallsyms: fix wrong kallsyms_relative_baseMikhail Petrov1-4/+4
There is the code in the read_symbol function in 'scripts/kallsyms.c': if (is_ignored_symbol(name, type)) return NULL; /* Ignore most absolute/undefined (?) symbols. */ if (strcmp(name, "_text") == 0) _text = addr; But the is_ignored_symbol function returns true for name="_text" and type='A'. So the next condition is not executed and the _text variable is always zero. It makes the wrong kallsyms_relative_base symbol as a result of the code (CONFIG_KALLSYMS_BASE_RELATIVE is defined): if (base_relative) { output_label("kallsyms_relative_base"); output_address(relative_base); printf("\n"); } Because the output_address function uses the _text variable. So the kallsyms_lookup function and all related functions in the kernel do not work properly.

On arm64, the EFI stub and the kernel proper are essentially the same binary, although the EFI stub executes at a different virtual address as the kernel. For this reason, the EFI stub is restricted in the symbols it can link to, which is ensured by prefixing all EFI stub symbols with __efistub_ (and emitting __efistub_ prefixed aliases for routines that may be shared between the core kernel and the stub) These symbols are leaking into kallsyms, polluting the namespace, so let's filter them explicitly.

gcc on aarch64 may emit synbols of type 'n' if the kernel is built with '-frecord-gcc-switches'. In most cases, those symbols are reported with nm as 000000000000000e n $d and with objdump as 0000000000000000 l d .GCC.command.line 0000000000000000 .GCC.command.line 000000000000000e l .GCC.command.line 0000000000000000 $d Those symbols are detected in is_arm_mapping_symbol() and ignored. However, if "--prefix-symbols=<prefix>" is configured as well, the situation is different. For example, in efi/libstub, arm64 images are built with '--prefix-alloc-sections=.init --prefix-symbols=__efistub_'. In combination with '-frecord-gcc-switches', the symbols are now reported by nm as: 000000000000000e n __efistub_$d and by objdump as: 0000000000000000 l d .GCC.command.line 0000000000000000 .GCC.command.line 000000000000000e l .GCC.command.line 0000000000000000 __efistub_$d Those symbols are no longer ignored and included in the base address calculation. This results in a base address of 000000000000000e, which in turn causes kallsyms to abort with kallsyms failure: relative symbol value 0xffffff900800a000 out of range in relative mode The problem is seen in little endian arm64 builds with CONFIG_EFI enabled and with '-frecord-gcc-switches' set in KCFLAGS.

This add the kbuild infrastructure that will allow architectures to emit vmlinux symbol CRCs as 32-bit offsets to another location in the kernel where the actual value is stored. This works around problems with CRCs being mistaken for relocatable symbols on kernels that self relocate at runtime (i.e., powerpc with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) For the kbuild side of things, this comes down to the following: - introducing a Kconfig symbol MODULE_REL_CRCS - adding a -R switch to genksyms to instruct it to emit the CRC symbols as references into the .rodata section - making modpost distinguish such references from absolute CRC symbols by the section index (SHN_ABS) - making kallsyms disregard non-absolute symbols with a __crc_ prefix Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2016-04-07ARM: 8555/1: kallsyms: ignore ARM mode switching veneersArd Biesheuvel1-0/+2
On ARM, the linker may emit veneers to deal with relative branch instructions that appear too far away from their targets. Since the second kallsyms pass results in an increase of the kernel size, it may result in additional veneers to be emitted, potentially affecting the output of kallsyms itself if these symbols are visible to it, and for that reason, symbols whose names end in '_veneer' are ignored explicitly. However, when building Thumb2 kernels, such veneers are named differently if they also incur a mode switch, and since they are not filtered by kallsyms, they may cause the build to fail. So filter symbols whose names end in '_from_arm' or '_from_thumb' as well.

2016-03-15kallsyms: add support for relative offsets in kallsyms address tableArd Biesheuvel1-10/+69
Similar to how relative extables are implemented, it is possible to emit the kallsyms table in such a way that it contains offsets relative to some anchor point in the kernel image rather than absolute addresses. On 64-bit architectures, it cuts the size of the kallsyms address table in half, since offsets between kernel symbols can typically be expressed in 32 bits. This saves several hundreds of kilobytes of permanent .rodata on average. In addition, the kallsyms address table is no longer subject to dynamic relocation when CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is in effect, so the relocation work done after decompression now doesn't have to do relocation updates for all these values. This saves up to 24 bytes (i.e., the size of a ELF64 RELA relocation table entry) per value, which easily adds up to a couple of megabytes of uncompressed __init data on ppc64 or arm64. Even if these relocation entries typically compress well, the combined size reduction of 2.8 MB uncompressed for a ppc64_defconfig build (of which 2.4 MB is __init data) results in a ~500 KB space saving in the compressed image. Since it is useful for some architectures (like x86) to retain the ability to emit absolute values as well, this patch also adds support for capturing both absolute and relative values when KALLSYMS_ABSOLUTE_PERCPU is in effect, by emitting absolute per-cpu addresses as positive 32-bit values, and addresses relative to the lowest encountered relative symbol as negative values, which are subtracted from the runtime address of this base symbol to produce the actual address. Support for the above is enabled by default for all architectures except IA-64 and Tile-GX, whose symbols are too far apart to capture in this manner.

2016-03-15kallsyms: don't overload absolute symbol type for percpu symbolsArd Biesheuvel1-2/+12
Commit c6bda7c988a5 ("kallsyms: fix percpu vars on x86-64 with relocation") overloaded the 'A' (absolute) symbol type to signify that a symbol is not subject to dynamic relocation. However, the original A type does not imply that at all, and depending on the version of the toolchain, many A type symbols are emitted that are in fact relative to the kernel text, i.e., if the kernel is relocated at runtime, these symbols should be updated as well. For instance, on sparc32, the following symbols are emitted as absolute (kindly provided by Guenter Roeck): f035a420 A _etext f03d9000 A _sdata f03de8c4 A jiffies f03f8860 A _edata f03fc000 A __init_begin f041bdc8 A __init_text_end f0423000 A __bss_start f0423000 A __init_end f044457d A __bss_stop f044457d A _end On x86_64, similar behavior can be observed: ffffffff81a00000 A __end_rodata_hpage_align ffffffff81b19000 A __vvar_page ffffffff81d3d000 A _end Even if only a couple of them pass the symbol range check that results in them to be taken into account for the final kallsyms symbol table, it is obvious that 'A' does not mean the symbol does not need to be updated at relocation time, and overloading its meaning to signify that is perhaps not a good idea. So instead, add a new percpu_absolute member to struct sym_entry, and when --absolute-percpu is in effect, use it to record symbols whose addresses should be emitted as final values rather than values that still require relocation at runtime. That way, we can drop the check against the 'A' type.

2015-04-07Kbuild: kallsyms: ignore veneers emitted by the ARM linkerArd Biesheuvel1-9/+21
When linking large kernels on ARM, the linker will insert veneers (i.e., PLT like stubs) when function symbols are out of reach for the ordinary relative branch/branch-and-link instructions. However, due to the fact that the kallsyms region sits in .rodata, which is between .text and .init.text, additional veneers may be emitted in the second pass due to the fact that the size of the kallsyms region itself has pushed the .init.text section further apart, requiring even more veneers. So ignore the veneers when generating the symbol table. Veneers have no corresponding source code, and they will not turn up in backtraces anyway. This patch also lightly refactors the symbol_valid() function to use a local 'sym_name' rather than the obfuscated 'sym + 1' and 'sym + offset' Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Michal Marek <mmarek@suse.cz>

2014-03-17kallsyms: fix percpu vars on x86-64 with relocation.Rusty Russell1-0/+21
x86-64 has a problem: per-cpu variables are actually represented by their absolute offsets within the per-cpu area, but the symbols are not emitted as absolute. Thus kallsyms naively creates them as offsets from _text, meaning their values change if the kernel is relocated (especially noticeable with CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE): $ egrep ' (gdt_|_(stext|_per_cpu_))' /root/kallsyms.nokaslr 0000000000000000 D __per_cpu_start 0000000000004000 D gdt_page 0000000000014280 D __per_cpu_end ffffffff810001c8 T _stext ffffffff81ee53c0 D __per_cpu_offset $ egrep ' (gdt_|_(stext|_per_cpu_))' /root/kallsyms.kaslr1 000000001f200000 D __per_cpu_start 000000001f204000 D gdt_page 000000001f214280 D __per_cpu_end ffffffffa02001c8 T _stext ffffffffa10e53c0 D __per_cpu_offset Making them absolute symbols is the Right Thing, but requires fixes to the relocs tool. So for the moment, we add a --absolute-percpu option which makes them absolute from a kallsyms perspective: $ egrep ' (gdt_|_(stext|_per_cpu_))' /proc/kallsyms # no KASLR 0000000000000000 A __per_cpu_start 000000000000a000 A gdt_page 0000000000013040 A __per_cpu_end ffffffff802001c8 T _stext ffffffff8099b180 D __per_cpu_offset ffffffff809a3000 D __per_cpu_load $ egrep ' (gdt_|_(stext|_per_cpu_))' /proc/kallsyms # With KASLR 0000000000000000 A __per_cpu_start 000000000000a000 A gdt_page 0000000000013040 A __per_cpu_end ffffffff89c001c8 T _stext ffffffff8a39d180 D __per_cpu_offset ffffffff8a3a5000 D __per_cpu_load Based-on-the-original-screenplay-by: Andy Honig <ahonig@google.com> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Acked-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>

2014-03-04kallsyms: fix absolute addresses for kASLRAndy Honig1-2/+1
Currently symbols that are absolute addresses are incorrectly displayed in /proc/kallsyms if the kernel is loaded with kASLR. The problem was that the scripts/kallsyms.c file which generates the array of symbol names and addresses uses an relocatable value for all symbols, even absolute symbols. This patch fixes that. Several kallsyms output in different boot states for comparison: $ egrep '_(stext|_per_cpu_(start|end))' /root/kallsyms.nokaslr 0000000000000000 D __per_cpu_start 0000000000014280 D __per_cpu_end ffffffff810001c8 T _stext $ egrep '_(stext|_per_cpu_(start|end))' /root/kallsyms.kaslr1 000000001f200000 D __per_cpu_start 000000001f214280 D __per_cpu_end ffffffffa02001c8 T _stext $ egrep '_(stext|_per_cpu_(start|end))' /root/kallsyms.kaslr2 000000000d400000 D __per_cpu_start 000000000d414280 D __per_cpu_end ffffffff8e4001c8 T _stext $ egrep '_(stext|_per_cpu_(start|end))' /root/kallsyms.kaslr-fixed 0000000000000000 D __per_cpu_start 0000000000014280 D __per_cpu_end ffffffffadc001c8 T _stext Signed-off-by: Andy Honig <ahonig@google.com> Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Cc: Michal Marek <mmarek@suse.cz> Cc: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2011-05-12scripts/kallsyms.c: fix potential segfaultXiaochen Wang1-0/+2
Description: This bug hardly appears during real kernel compiling, because the vmlinux symbols table is huge. But we can still catch it under strict condition , as follows. $ echo "c101b97b T do_fork" | ./scripts/kallsyms --all-symbols #include <asm/types.h> ...... ...... .globl kallsyms_token_table ALGN kallsyms_token_table: Segmentation fault (core dumped) $ If symbols table is small, all entries in token_profit[0x10000] may decrease to 0 after several calls of compress_symbols() in optimize_result(). In that case, find_best_token() always return 0 and best_table[i] is set to "\0\0" and best_table_len[i] is set to 2. As a result, expand_symbol(best_table[0]="\0\0", best_table_len[0]=2, buf) in write_src() will run in infinite recursion until stack overflows, causing segfault. This patch checks the find_best_token() return value. If all entries in token_profit[0x10000] become 0 according to return value, it breaks the loop in optimize_result(). And expand_symbol() works well when best_table_len[i] is 0.

Commit b478b782e110fdb4135caa3062b6d687e989d994 "kallsyms, tracing: output more proper symbol name" introduces a "bugfix" that introduces a segfault in kallsyms in my configurations. The cause is the introduction of prefix_underscores_count() which attempts to count underscores, even in symbols that do not have them.

2009-03-14kallsyms, tracing: output more proper symbol nameLai Jiangshan1-0/+57
Impact: bugfix, output more reliable symbol lookup result Debug tools(dump_stack(), ftrace...) are like to print out symbols. But it is always print out the first aliased symbol.(Aliased symbols are symbols with the same address), and the first aliased symbol is sometime not proper. # echo function_graph > current_tracer # cat trace ...... 1) 1.923 us | select_nohz_load_balancer(); 1) + 76.692 us | } 1) | default_idle() { 1) ==========> | __irqentry_text_start() { 1) 0.000 us | native_apic_mem_write(); 1) | irq_enter() { 1) 0.000 us | idle_cpu(); 1) | tick_check_idle() { 1) 0.000 us | tick_check_oneshot_broadcast(); 1) | tick_nohz_stop_idle() { ...... It's very embarrassing, it ouputs "__irqentry_text_start()", actually, it should output "smp_apic_timer_interrupt()". (these two symbol are the same address, but "__irqentry_text_start" is deemed to the first aliased symbol by scripts/kallsyms) This patch puts symbols like "__irqentry_text_start" to the second aliased symbols. And a more proper symbol name becomes the first. Aliased symbols mostly come from linker script. The solution is guessing "is this symbol defined in linker script", the symbols defined in linker script will not become the first aliased symbol. And if symbols are found to be equal in this "linker script provided" criteria, symbols are sorted by the number of prefix underscores.

Using CONFIG_KALLSYMS_STRIP_GENERATED reduces the overhead of CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ALL from 245k/310k to 65k/80k for the (i386/x86-64) kernels I tested with. The patch also does away with the need to special case the kallsyms- internal symbols by making them available even in the first linking stage.

2008-02-06kallsyms should prefer non weak symbolsPaulo Marques1-3/+34
When resolving symbol names from addresses with aliased symbol names, kallsyms_lookup always returns the first symbol, even if it is a weak symbol. This patch changes this by sorting the symbols with the weak symbols last before feeding them to the kernel. This way the kernel runtime isn't changed at all, only the kallsyms build system is changed. Another side effect is that the symbols get sorted by address, too. So, even if future binutils version have some bug in "nm" that makes it fail to correctly sort symbols by address, the kernel won't be affected by this. Mathieu says: I created a module in LTTng that uses kallsyms to get the symbol corresponding to a specific system call address. Unfortunately, all the unimplemented syscalls were all referring to the (same) weak symbol identifying an unrelated system call rather that sys_ni (or whatever non-weak symbol would be expected). Kallsyms was dumbly returning the first symbol that matched. This patch makes sure kallsyms returns the non-weak symbol when there is one, which seems to be the expected result.

2008-02-06remove support for un-needed _extratext sectionRobin Getz1-14/+10
When passing a zero address to kallsyms_lookup(), the kernel thought it was a valid kernel address, even if it is not. This is because is_ksym_addr() called is_kernel_extratext() and checked against labels that don't exist on many archs (which default as zero). Since PPC was the only kernel which defines _extra_text, (in 2005), and no longer needs it, this patch removes _extra_text support.

2007-07-17kallsyms: make KSYM_NAME_LEN include space for trailing '\0'Tejun Heo1-2/+2
KSYM_NAME_LEN is peculiar in that it does not include the space for the trailing '\0', forcing all users to use KSYM_NAME_LEN + 1 when allocating buffer. This is nonsense and error-prone. Moreover, when the caller forgets that it's very likely to subtly bite back by corrupting the stack because the last position of the buffer is always cleared to zero. This patch increments KSYM_NAME_LEN by one and updates code accordingly. * off-by-one bug in asm-powerpc/kprobes.h::kprobe_lookup_name() macro is fixed. * Where MODULE_NAME_LEN and KSYM_NAME_LEN were used together, MODULE_NAME_LEN was treated as if it didn't include space for the trailing '\0'.

This patch changes the way the compression algorithm works. The base algorithm is similiar to the previous but we force the compressed token size to 2. Having a fixed size compressed token allows for a lot of optimizations, and that in turn allows this code to run over *all* the symbols faster than it did before over just a subset. Having it work over all the symbols will make it behave better when symbols change positions between passes, and the "inconsistent kallsyms" messages should become less frequent. In my tests the compression ratio was degraded by about 0.5%, but the results will depend greatly on the number of symbols to compress.
