Subject: [PATCH 5/5] perf test: Add kallsyms split test
Date: Tue, 2 Dec 2025 00:16:45 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251202081645.931527-6-namhyung@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251202081645.931527-1-namhyung@kernel.org>
Add fake_root directory for /proc/{version,modules,kallsyms}. The
kallsyms has a bad symbol in the module and it causes the main map
splitted. The test ensures it only has two maps - kernel and the module
and it finds the initial map after the module without creating the split
maps like [kernel].0 and so on.
$ perf test -vv "split kallsyms"
69: split kallsyms:
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 921678
try to find fake root directory
maps__set_modules_path_dir: cannot open tests/fake_root/lib/modules/X.Y.Z dir
Problems setting modules path maps, continuing anyway...
Failed to open tests/fake_root/proc/kcore. Note /proc/kcore requires CAP_SYS_RAWIO capability to access.
Using tests/fake_root/proc/kallsyms for symbols
kernel map loaded - check symbol and map
---- end(0) ----
69: split kallsyms : Ok
