      scripts/kallsyms: filter symbols not in kernel address space · f6537f2f
      Ming Lei 提交于
      This patch uses CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET to filter symbols which
      are not in kernel address space because these symbols are
      generally for generating code purpose and can't be run at
      kernel mode, so we needn't keep them in /proc/kallsyms.
      
      For example, on ARM there are some symbols which may be
      linked in relocatable code section, then perf can't parse
      symbols any more from /proc/kallsyms, this patch fixes the
      problem (introduced b9b32bf7)

      CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX: cleanup. · b92021b0
      Rusty Russell 提交于
      We have CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX, which three archs define to the string
      "_".  But Al Viro broke this in "consolidate cond_syscall and
      SYSCALL_ALIAS declarations" (in linux-next), and he's not the first to
      do so.
      
      Using CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX is awkward, since we usually just want to
      prefix it so something.  So various places define helpers which are
      defined to nothing if CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX isn't set:
      
      1) include/asm-generic/unistd.h defines __SYMBOL_PREFIX.
      2) include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h defines VMLINUX_SYMBOL(sym)
      3) include/linux/export.h defines MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX.
      4) include/linux/kernel.h defines SYMBOL_PREFIX (which differs from #7)
      5) kernel/modsign_certificate.S defines ASM_SYMBOL(sym)
      6) scripts/modpost.c defines MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX
      7) scripts/Makefile.lib defines SYMBOL_PREFIX on the commandline if
         CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX is set, so that we have a non-string version
         for pasting.
      
      (arch/h8300/include/asm/linkage.h defines SYMBOL_NAME(), too).
      
      Let's solve this properly:
      1) No more generic prefix, just CONFIG_HAVE_UNDERSCORE_SYMBOL_PREFIX.
      2) Make linux/export.h usable from asm.
      3) Define VMLINUX_SYMBOL() and VMLINUX_SYMBOL_STR().
      4) Make everyone use them.

      kbuild: add symbol prefix arg to kallsyms · 6895f97e
      James Hogan 提交于
      Commit 1f2bfbd0 ("kbuild: link of
      vmlinux moved to a script") introduced in v3.5-rc1 broke kallsyms on
      architectures which have symbol prefixes.
      
      The --symbol-prefix argument used to be added to the KALLSYMS command
      line from the architecture Makefile, however this isn't picked up by the
      new scripts/link-vmlinux.sh. This resulted in symbols like
      kallsyms_addresses being added which weren't correctly overriding the
      weak symbols such as _kallsyms_addresses. These could then trigger
      BUG_ONs in kallsyms code.
      
      This is fixed by removing the KALLSYMS addition from the architecture
      Makefile, and using CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX in the link-vmlinux.sh script
      to determine whether to add the --symbol-prefix argument.

      kbuild: link of vmlinux moved to a script · 1f2bfbd0
      Sam Ravnborg 提交于
      Move the final link of vmlinux to a script to improve
      readability and maintainability of the code.
      
      The Makefile fragments used to link vmlinux has over the
      years seen far too many changes and the logic had become
      hard to follow.
      
      As the process by nature is serialized there was
      nothing gained including this in the Makefile.
      
      "um" has special link requirments - and the
      only way to handle this was to hard-code the linking
      of "um" in the script.
      This was better than trying to modularize it only for the
      benefit of "um" anyway.
      
      The shell script has been improved after input from:
