From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <[email protected]> The algorithms used to prune aliases in symbols__fixup_duplicate() uses information available on ELF symtabs that are not present on /proc/kallsyms, so it picks different aliases as "best" for vmlinux and kallsyms.
We could probably improve a bit this by having a list of aliases for the "best" symbols picked, instead of throwing this info, but that is left for when we find a real need. With this, 'perf test vmlinux' passes: # perf test -F 1 1: vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms: Ok # When we ask for verbose mode, we can see those warning: # perf test -F -v 1 1: vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms: --- start --- Looking at the vmlinux_path (8 entries long) Using /lib/modules/4.8.0-rc4+/build/vmlinux for symbols WARN: 0xffffffffb7001000: diff name v: xen_hypercall_set_trap_table k: hypercall_page WARN: 0xffffffffb7077970: diff end addr for aesni_gcm_dec v: 0xffffffffb707a2f2 k: 0xffffffffb7077a02 WARN: 0xffffffffb707a300: diff end addr for aesni_gcm_enc v: 0xffffffffb707cc03 k: 0xffffffffb707a392 WARN: 0xffffffffb707f950: diff end addr for aesni_gcm_enc_avx_gen2 v: 0xffffffffb7084ef6 k: 0xffffffffb707f9c3 WARN: 0xffffffffb7084f00: diff end addr for aesni_gcm_dec_avx_gen2 v: 0xffffffffb708a691 k: 0xffffffffb7084f73 WARN: 0xffffffffb708aa10: diff end addr for aesni_gcm_enc_avx_gen4 v: 0xffffffffb708f844 k: 0xffffffffb708aa83 WARN: 0xffffffffb708f850: diff end addr for aesni_gcm_dec_avx_gen4 v: 0xffffffffb709486f k: 0xffffffffb708f8c3 WARN: 0xffffffffb71a6e50: diff name v: perf_pmu_commit_txn.part.98 k: perf_pmu_cancel_txn.part.97 WARN: 0xffffffffb752e480: diff name v: wakeup_expire_count_show.part.5 k: wakeup_active_count_show.part.7 WARN: 0xffffffffb76e8d00: diff name v: phys_switch_id_show.part.11 k: phys_port_name_show.part.12 WARN: Maps only in vmlinux: ffffffffb7d7d000-ffffffffb7eeaac8 117d000 [kernel].init.text ffffffffb7eeaac8-ffffffffc03ad000 12eaac8 [kernel].exit.text ---- end ---- vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms: Ok # Cc: Adrian Hunter <[email protected]> Cc: David Ahern <[email protected]> Cc: Jiri Olsa <[email protected]> Cc: Masami Hiramatsu <[email protected]> Cc: Namhyung Kim <[email protected]> Cc: Wang Nan <[email protected]> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/[email protected] Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <[email protected]> --- tools/perf/tests/vmlinux-kallsyms.c | 7 ++++--- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/tools/perf/tests/vmlinux-kallsyms.c b/tools/perf/tests/vmlinux-kallsyms.c index 450f69960931..77513bf99d1b 100644 --- a/tools/perf/tests/vmlinux-kallsyms.c +++ b/tools/perf/tests/vmlinux-kallsyms.c @@ -155,19 +155,20 @@ next_pair: * kallsyms. */ continue; - } else { pair = machine__find_kernel_symbol_by_name(&kallsyms, type, sym->name, NULL, NULL); if (pair) { if (UM(pair->start) == mem_start) goto next_pair; - pr_debug("ERR : %#" PRIx64 ": diff name v: %s k: %s\n", + pr_debug("WARN: %#" PRIx64 ": diff name v: %s k: %s\n", mem_start, sym->name, pair->name); } else { - pr_debug("ERR : %#" PRIx64 ": diff name v: %s k: %s\n", + pr_debug("WARN: %#" PRIx64 ": diff name v: %s k: %s\n", mem_start, sym->name, first_pair->name); } + + continue; } } else pr_debug("ERR : %#" PRIx64 ": %s not on kallsyms\n", -- 2.7.4
