perf tests vmlinux-kallsyms: Update is_ignored_symbol function to match the kernel ignored list

2022-09-28T14:11:33+00:00

The testcase “vmlinux-kallsyms.c” fails in powerpc.

	vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms: FAILED!

This test look at the symbols in the vmlinux DSO and check if we find
all of them in the kallsyms dso.

But from the powerpc logs , observed that the failure happens for:

	ERR : 0xc0000000000fe9c8: .Lmfspr_table not on kallsyms
	ERR : 0xc0000000001009c8: .Lmtspr_table not on kallsyms

These are labels ( with .L) in the source code and has to be ignored.
Reference code with .Lmtspr_table: arch/powerpc/xmon/spr_access.S

The testcases invokes is_ignored_symbol() function to ignore hidden
symbols in the dso like local symbols. This function is adapted from
is_ignored_symbol() kernel function in code: scripts/kallsyms.c . The
kernel function got some updates which is not reflected in the testcase
function and the new updates also handles ignoring "labels".

Below is the changes that went in the kernel function.

	 /* Symbol names that begin with the following are ignored.*/
	 static const char * const ignored_prefixes[] = {
	 		"$",			/* local symbols for ARM, MIPS, etc. */
	-		".LASANPC",		/* s390 kasan local symbols */
	+		".L",			/* local labels, .LBB,.Ltmpxxx,.L__unnamed_xx,.LASANPC, etc. */
	 		"__crc_",		/* modversions */
	 		"__efistub_",		/* arm64 EFI stub namespace */
	-		"__kvm_nvhe_",		/* arm64 non-VHE KVM namespace */
	+		"__kvm_nvhe_$",		/* arm64 local symbols in non-VHE KVM namespace */
	+		"__kvm_nvhe_.L",	/* arm64 local symbols in non-VHE KVM namespace */
	 		"__AArch64ADRPThunk_",	/* arm64 lld */
	 		"__ARMV5PILongThunk_",	/* arm lld */
	 		"__ARMV7PILongThunk_",

This change is part of below commits and will handle the
symbols with “.L”

commit d4c858643263 ("kallsyms: ignore all local labels prefixed by '.L'")
commit 6ccf9cb557bd ("KVM: arm64: Symbolize the nVHE HYP addresses")

Update the testcase function to include the new changes.

perf test: Use skip in vmlinux kallsyms

2022-05-23T13:01:15+00:00

Currently failures in reading vmlinux or kallsyms result in a test
failure. However, the failure is typically permission related. Prefer to
flag these failures as skip.

Committer testing:

Before:

  $ perf test vmlinux
    1: vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms                 : FAILED!
  $

After:

  $ perf test vmlinux
    1: vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms                 : Skip
  $

perf maps: Use a pointer for kmaps

2022-02-14T19:47:13+00:00

struct maps is reference counted, using a pointer is more idiomatic.

Committer notes:

Delay:

   maps = machine__kernel_maps(&vmlinux);

To after:

  machine__init(&vmlinux, "", HOST_KERNEL_ID);

perf test: Move each test suite struct to its test

2021-11-13T13:30:58+00:00

Rather than export test functions, export the test struct. Rename with a
suite__ prefix to avoid name collisions.

Committer notes:

Its '&suite__vectors_page', not '&suite__vectors_pages', noticed when
cross building to arm (32-bit).

perf tests vmlinux-kallsyms: Ignore hidden symbols

2021-09-29T17:13:42+00:00

Certain kernel symbols are purposely hidden from kallsyms. The function
is_ignored_symbol() from scripts/kallsyms.c decides if a symbol should
be hidden or not.

The perf test "vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms" fails in case perf finds
some of the hidden symbols in its machine image and can't match them to
kallsyms.

Let's add a filter to check if a symbol not found isn't one of these
before failing the test.

The function is_ignored_symbol() has been copied from scripts/kallsyms.c
and needs to be updated along with the original.

perf maps: Merge 'struct maps' with 'struct map_groups'

2019-11-26T14:07:46+00:00

And pick the shortest name: 'struct maps'.

The split existed because we used to have two groups of maps, one for
functions and one for variables, but that only complicated things,
sometimes we needed to figure out what was at some address and then had
to first try it on the functions group and if that failed, fall back to
the variables one.

That split is long gone, so for quite a while we had only one struct
maps per struct map_groups, simplify things by combining those structs.

First patch is the minimum needed to merge both, follow up patches will
rename 'thread->mg' to 'thread->maps', etc.

present in other trees of data structures.

libperf: Move 'page_size' global variable to libperf

2019-09-25T12:51:48+00:00

We need the 'page_size' variable in libperf, so move it there.

Add a libperf_init() as a global libperf init function to obtain this
value via sysconf() at tool start.

Committer notes:

Add internal/lib.h to tools/perf/ files using 'page_size', sometimes
replacing util.h with it if that was the only reason for having util.h
included.

2019-09-20T12:19:20+00:00

Check that it is not needed and remove, fixing up some fallout for
places where it was only serving to get something else.
