From 30f3bb09778de64ef9f23fb4bb5f868c4728a071 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zhen Lei Date: Tue, 15 Nov 2022 16:33:48 +0800 Subject: kallsyms: Add self-test facility Added test cases for basic functions and performance of functions kallsyms_lookup_name(), kallsyms_on_each_symbol() and kallsyms_on_each_match_symbol(). It also calculates the compression rate of the kallsyms compression algorithm for the current symbol set. The basic functions test begins by testing a set of symbols whose address values are known. Then, traverse all symbol addresses and find the corresponding symbol name based on the address. It's impossible to determine whether these addresses are correct, but we can use the above three functions along with the addresses to test each other. Due to the traversal operation of kallsyms_on_each_symbol() is too slow, only 60 symbols can be tested in one second, so let it test on average once every 128 symbols. The other two functions validate all symbols. If the basic functions test is passed, print only performance test results. If the test fails, print error information, but do not perform subsequent performance tests. Start self-test automatically after system startup if CONFIG_KALLSYMS_SELFTEST=y.
