perf tests: Use arch__compare_symbol_names to compare symbols

2018-05-30T05:49:16Z

[ Upstream commit ab6e9a99345131cd8e54268d1d0dc04a33f7ed11 ] The symbol search called by machine__find_kernel_symbol_by_name is using internally arch__compare_symbol_names function to compare 2 symbol names, because different archs have different ways of comparing symbols. Mostly for skipping '.' prefixes and similar. In test 1 when we try to find matching symbols in kallsyms and vmlinux, by address and by symbol name. When either is found we compare the pair symbol names by simple strcmp, which is not good enough for reasons explained in previous paragraph. On powerpc this can cause lockup, because even thought we found the pair, the compared names are different and don't match simple strcmp. Following code path is executed, that leads to lockup: - we find the pair in kallsyms by sym->start next_pair: - we compare the names and it fails - we find the pair by sym->name - the pair addresses match so we call goto next_pair because we assume the names match in this case Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa Tested-by: Naveen N.

perf machine: Add method for common kernel_map(FUNCTION) operation

And it is also a step in the direction of killing the separation of data and text maps in map_groups. Cc: Adrian Hunter Cc: David Ahern Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Wang Nan Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-rrds86kb3wx5wk8v38v56gw8@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf tools: Introduce struct maps

2015-05-27T23:21:41Z

That for now has the maps rbtree and the list for the dead maps, that may be still referenced from some hist_entry, etc. This paves the way for protecting the rbtree with a lock, then refcount the maps and finally remove the removed_maps list, as it'll not ne anymore needed.

perf tests: No need to set up ref_reloc_sym

2014-01-31T20:21:52Z

Now that ref_reloc_sym is set up by machine__create_kernel_maps(), the "vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms" test does have to do it.

perf tests: Adjust the vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms test again

2013-08-07T20:35:33Z

The kallsyms maps now may map to kcore and the symbol values now may be file offsets. For comparison with vmlinux the virtual memory address is needed which is obtained by unmapping the symbol value. The "vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms" is adjusted accordingly.

perf tests: Omit end of the symbol check failure for test 1

2013-07-12T16:45:50Z

Omitting end of the function check failure for test 1, since there's no way to get exact symbol end via kallsyms. Leaving the debug message.

Now that Jiri introduced TEST_SKIP, don't fail on the first test, just skip it.
