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.

Thanks for your patch, which is now commit 30f3bb09778de64e ("kallsyms:
Add self-test facility") in linus/master.

I gave this a try on m68k (atari_defconfig + CONFIG_KALLSYMS_SELFTEST=y),
but it failed:

    start
    kallsyms_lookup_name() for kallsyms_test_func_static failed:
addr=0, expect 60ab0
    kallsyms_lookup_name() for kallsyms_test_func failed: addr=0, expect 60ac0
    kallsyms_lookup_name() for kallsyms_test_func_weak failed: addr=0,

addr=0, expect c272a
    kallsyms_on_each_match_symbol() for vfree failed: count=0, addr=0,
expect c2142
    abort

Given all addresses are zero, it looks like some required functionality
or config option is missing.

$ grep SYM .config
CONFIG_KALLSYMS=y
CONFIG_KALLSYMS_SELFTEST=y
CONFIG_KALLSYMS_BASE_RELATIVE=y
# CONFIG_ASYMMETRIC_KEY_TYPE is not set
CONFIG_SYMBOLIC_ERRNAME=y
# CONFIG_STRIP_ASM_SYMS is not set
CONFIG_KALLSYMS_SELFTEST

Do you have a clue?

cat /proc/kallsyms | grep kallsyms_test_func
Let's see if the compiler-generated symbols have some special suffixes.

Thanks, looks normal to me:

    atari:~# cat /proc/kallsyms | grep kallsyms_test_func
    00060ab0 t kallsyms_test_func_static
    00060ac0 T kallsyms_test_func
    00060ac2 W kallsyms_test_func_weak
    atari:~#

It's incredible. I don't have a m68k environment and I'm trying to build a qemu
environment. If you're in a hurry and willing, you can apply the debugging patch
in the attachment. I'd like to see what's wrong. Use "dmesg | grep tst" to collect
the output information.

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,
