scripts/kallsyms: update the usage in the comment block

2023-04-17T02:03:56Z

Commit 010a0aad39fc ("kallsyms: Correctly sequence symbols when CONFIG_LTO_CLANG=y") added --lto-clang, and updated the usage() function, but not the comment. Update it in the same way. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Reviewed-by: Nick Desaulniers

scripts/kallsyms: decrease expand_symbol() / cleanup_symbol_name() calls

2023-04-17T02:03:56Z

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.

scripts/kallsyms: change the output order

2023-04-17T02:03:56Z

Currently, this tool outputs symbol data in the following order. (1) kallsyms_addressed / kallsyms_offsets (2) kallsyms_relative_base (3) kallsyms_num_syms (4) kallsyms_names (5) kallsyms_markers (6) kallsyms_seq_of_names (7) kallsyms_token_table (8) kallsyms_token_index This commit changes the order as follows: (1) kallsyms_num_syms (2) kallsyms_names (3) kallsyms_markers (4) kallsyms_token_table (5) kallsyms_token_index (6) kallsyms_addressed / kallsyms_offsets (7) kallsyms_relative_base (8) kallsyms_seq_of_names The motivation is to decrease the number of function calls to expand_symbol() and cleanup_symbol_name(). 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

scripts/kallsyms: move compiler-generated symbol patterns to mksysmap

2023-04-17T02:03:56Z

scripts/kallsyms.c maintains compiler-generated symbols, but we end up with something similar in scripts/mksysmap to avoid the "Inconsistent kallsyms data" error. For example, commit c17a2538704f ("mksysmap: Fix the mismatch of 'L0' symbols in System.map"). They were separately maintained prior to commit 94ff2f63d6a3 ("kbuild: reuse mksysmap output for kallsyms"). Now that scripts/kallsyms.c parses the output of scripts/mksysmap, it makes more sense to collect all the ignored patterns to mksysmap. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Reviewed-by: Nick Desaulniers

scripts/kallsyms: exclude symbols generated by itself dynamically

2023-04-17T02:03:56Z

Drop the symbols generated by scripts/kallsyms itself automatically instead of maintaining the symbol list manually. Pass the kallsyms object from the previous kallsyms step (if it exists) as the third parameter of scripts/mksysmap, which will weed out the generated symbols from the input to the next kallsyms step.

kallsyms: expand symbol name into comment for debugging

2023-04-17T02:03:56Z

The assembler output of kallsyms.c is not meant for people to understand, and is generally not helpful when debugging "Inconsistent kallsyms data" warnings. I have previously struggled with these, but found it helpful to list which symbols changed between the first and second pass in the .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms*.S files. As this file is preprocessed, it's possible to add a C-style multiline comment with the full type/name tuple. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

kallsyms: add kallsyms_seqs_of_names to list of special symbols

2023-03-07T01:35:38Z

My randconfig build setup ran into another kallsyms warning: Inconsistent kallsyms data Try make KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS=1 as a workaround After adding some debugging code to kallsyms.c, I saw that the recently added kallsyms_seqs_of_names symbol can sometimes cause the second stage table to be slightly longer than the first stage, which makes the build inconsistent. Add it to the exception table that contains all other kallsyms-generated symbols.

Pull char/misc driver updates from Greg KH: "Here is the large set of char/misc and other driver subsystem changes for 6.2-rc1. Nothing earth-shattering in here at all, just a lot of new driver development and minor fixes. Highlights include: - fastrpc driver updates - iio new drivers and updates - habanalabs driver updates for new hardware and features - slimbus driver updates - speakup module parameters added to aid in boot time configuration - i2c probe_new conversions for lots of different drivers - other small driver fixes and additions One semi-interesting change in here is the increase of the number of misc dynamic minors available to 1048448 to handle new huge-cpu systems.

The comment in scripts/kallsyms.c describing the usage of scripts/kallsyms does not reflect the latest implementation. Fix the comment to be equivalent to what the usage() function prints.
