kallsyms: Fix kallsyms_selftest failure
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
commit 33f0467 upstream.

Kernel test robot reported a kallsyms_test failure when clang lto is
enabled (thin or full) and CONFIG_KALLSYMS_SELFTEST is also enabled.
I can reproduce in my local environment with the following error message
with thin lto:
  [    1.877897] kallsyms_selftest: Test for 1750th symbol failed: (tsc_cs_mark_unstable) addr=ffffffff81038090
  [    1.877901] kallsyms_selftest: abort

It appears that commit 8cc32a9 ("kallsyms: strip LTO-only suffixes
from promoted global functions") caused the failure. Commit 8cc32a9
changed cleanup_symbol_name() based on ".llvm." instead of '.' where
".llvm." is appended to a before-lto-optimization local symbol name.
We need to propagate such knowledge in kallsyms_selftest.c as well.

Further more, compare_symbol_name() in kallsyms.c needs change as well.
In scripts/kallsyms.c, kallsyms_names and kallsyms_seqs_of_names are used
to record symbol names themselves and index to symbol names respectively.
For example:
  kallsyms_names:
    ...
    __amd_smn_rw._entry       <== seq 1000
    __amd_smn_rw._entry.5     <== seq 1001
    __amd_smn_rw.llvm.<hash>  <== seq 1002
    ...

kallsyms_seqs_of_names are sorted based on cleanup_symbol_name() through, so
the order in kallsyms_seqs_of_names actually has

  index 1000:   seq 1002   <== __amd_smn_rw.llvm.<hash> (actual symbol comparison using '__amd_smn_rw')
  index 1001:   seq 1000   <== __amd_smn_rw._entry
  index 1002:   seq 1001   <== __amd_smn_rw._entry.5

Let us say at a particular point, at index 1000, symbol '__amd_smn_rw.llvm.<hash>'
is comparing to '__amd_smn_rw._entry' where '__amd_smn_rw._entry' is the one to
search e.g., with function kallsyms_on_each_match_symbol(). The current implementation
will find out '__amd_smn_rw._entry' is less than '__amd_smn_rw.llvm.<hash>' and
then continue to search e.g., index 999 and never found a match although the actual
index 1001 is a match.

To fix this issue, let us do cleanup_symbol_name() first and then do comparison.
In the above case, comparing '__amd_smn_rw' vs '__amd_smn_rw._entry' and
'__amd_smn_rw._entry' being greater than '__amd_smn_rw', the next comparison will
be > index 1000 and eventually index 1001 will be hit an a match is found.

For any symbols not having '.llvm.' substr, there is no functionality change
for compare_symbol_name().
