kallsyms: Correctly sequence symbols when CONFIG_LTO_CLANG=y
LLVM appends various suffixes for local functions and variables, suffixes observed: - foo.llvm.[0-9a-f]+ - foo.[0-9a-f]+ Therefore, when CONFIG_LTO_CLANG=y, kallsyms_lookup_name() needs to truncate the suffix of the symbol name before comparing the local function or variable name. Old implementation code: - if (strcmp(namebuf, name) == 0) - return kallsyms_sym_address(i); - if (cleanup_symbol_name(namebuf) && strcmp(namebuf, name) == 0) - return kallsyms_sym_address(i); The preceding process is traversed by address from low to high. That is, for those with the same name after the suffix is removed, the one with the smallest address is returned first. Therefore, when sorting in the tool, if the raw names are the same, they should be sorted by address in ascending order. ASCII[.] = 2e ASCII[0-9] = 30,39 ASCII[A-Z] = 41,5a ASCII[_] = 5f ASCII[a-z] = 61,7a According to the preceding ASCII code values, the following sorting result is strictly followed. --------------------------------- | main-key | sub-key | |---------------------------------| | | addr_lowest | | <name> | ... | | <name>.<suffix> | ... | | | addr_highest | |---------------------------------| | <name>?<others> | | //? is [_A-Za-z0-9] --------------------------------- Signed-off-by: Zhen Lei <thunder.leizhen@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: Luis Chamberlain <mcgrof@kernel.org>
