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.

scripts/mksysmap: use sed with in-line comments

2023-04-17T02:03:56Z

It is not feasible to insert comments in a multi-line shell command. Use sed, and move comments close to the code. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

scripts/mksysmap: remove comments described in nm(1)

2023-04-17T02:03:56Z

I do not think we need to repeat what is written in 'man nm'. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

kallsyms: ignore __kstrtab_* and __kstrtabns_* symbols

2022-10-02T18:51:58Z

Every EXPORT_SYMBOL creates __kstrtab_* and __kstrtabns_*, which consumes 15-20% of the kallsyms entries. For example, on the system built from the x86_64 defconfig, $ cat /proc/kallsyms | wc 129527 388581 5685465 $ cat /proc/kallsyms | grep __kstrtab | wc 23489 70467 1187932 We already ignore __crc_* symbols populated by EXPORT_SYMBOL, so it should be fine to ignore __kstrtab_* and __kstrtabns_* as well. This makes vmlinux a bit smaller. $ size vmlinux.before vmlinux.after text data bss dec hex filename 22785374 8559694 1413328 32758396 1f3da7c vmlinux.before 22785374 8137806 1413328 32336508 1ed6a7c vmlinux.after Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

kallsyms: drop duplicated ignore patterns from kallsyms.c

2022-10-02T09:06:05Z

Now that kallsyms.c parses the output from mksysmap, some symbols have already been dropped. Move comments to scripts/mksysmap. Also, make the grep command readable. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

mksysmap: update comment about __crc_*

2022-10-02T09:06:05Z

Since commit 7b4537199a4a ("kbuild: link symbol CRCs at final link, removing CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS"), __crc_* symbols never become absolute. Keep ignoring __crc_*, but update the comment. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

mksysmap: Fix the mismatch of 'L0' symbols in System.map

2022-09-09T20:35:13Z

When System.map was generated, the kernel used mksysmap to filter the kernel symbols, we need to filter "L0" symbols in LoongArch architecture. $ cat System.map | grep L0 9000000000221540 t L0 The L0 symbol exists in System.map, but not in .tmp_System.map. When "cmp -s System.map .tmp_System.map" will show "Inconsistent kallsyms data" error message in link-vmlinux.sh script. Signed-off-by: Youling Tang Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

mksysmap: Fix the mismatch of '.L' symbols in System.map

2020-06-06T14:39:20Z

When System.map was generated, the kernel used mksysmap to filter the kernel symbols, but all the symbols with the second letter 'L' in the kernel were filtered out, not just the symbols starting with 'dot + L'. For example: ashimida@ubuntu:~/linux$ cat System.map |grep ' .L' ashimida@ubuntu:~/linux$ nm -n vmlinux |grep ' .L' ffff0000088028e0 t bLength_show ...... ffff0000092e0408 b PLLP_OUTC_lock ffff0000092e0410 b PLLP_OUTA_lock The original intent should be to filter out all local symbols starting with '.L', so the dot should be escaped.

mksysmap: Add h8300 local symbol pattern

2015-06-23T04:35:47Z

h8300's nm output have a lot of local symbols. ex) 00000000 N .Lframe0 00000013 N .LLST1 00000026 N .LLST2 00000039 N .LLST3 0000004c N .LLST4 Added new pattern " .L" to filter rule. Signed-off-by: Yoshinori Sato
