[PATCHv5 bpf-next 0/5] bpf: Speed up symbol resolving in kprobe multi link

[PATCHv5 bpf-next 0/5] bpf: Speed up symbol resolving in kprobe multi link

[Jiri Olsa]

hi,
sending additional fix for symbol resolving in kprobe multi link
requested by Alexei and Andrii [1].

This speeds up bpftrace kprobe attachment, when using pure symbols
(3344 symbols) to attach:

Before:

  # perf stat -r 5 -e cycles ./src/bpftrace -e 'kprobe:x* {  } i:ms:1 { exit(); }'
  ...
  6.5681 +- 0.0225 seconds time elapsed  ( +-  0.34% )

After:

  # perf stat -r 5 -e cycles ./src/bpftrace -e 'kprobe:x* {  } i:ms:1 { exit(); }'
  ...
  0.5661 +- 0.0275 seconds time elapsed  ( +-  4.85% )

v5 changes:
  - added acks [Masami]
  - workaround in selftest for RCU warning by filtering out several
    functions to attach

v4 changes:
  - fix compile issue [kernel test robot]
  - added acks [Andrii]

v3 changes:
  - renamed kallsyms_lookup_names to ftrace_lookup_symbols
    and moved it to ftrace.c [Masami]
  - added ack [Andrii]
  - couple small test fixes [Andrii]

v2 changes (first version [2]):
  - removed the 2 seconds check [Alexei]
  - moving/forcing symbols sorting out of kallsyms_lookup_names function [Alexei]
  - skipping one array allocation and copy_from_user [Andrii]
  - several small fixes [Masami,Andrii]
  - build fix [kernel test robot]

thanks,
jirka

[PATCHv5 bpf-next 1/5] kallsyms: Fully export kallsyms_on_each_symbol function

[Jiri Olsa]

Fully exporting kallsyms_on_each_symbol function, so it can be used
in following changes.

Rather than adding another ifdef option let's export the function
completely (when CONFIG_KALLSYMS option is defined).

[Christoph Hellwig]

I'm not sure how I'm supposed to review just a patch 1 out of 5
without the rest.

What I can ѕay without the rest is that the subject line is wrong
as nothing is exported, and that you are adding an overly long line.

sorry, I did not think the rest was needed, full patchset is in here:
  https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20220507125711.2022238-1-jolsa@kernel.org/

I'll cc you on full patchset in next version

[PATCHv5 bpf-next 2/5] ftrace: Add ftrace_lookup_symbols function

[Jiri Olsa]

Adding ftrace_lookup_symbols function that resolves array of symbols
with single pass over kallsyms.

The user provides array of string pointers with count and pointer to
allocated array for resolved values.

  int ftrace_lookup_symbols(const char **sorted_syms, size_t cnt,
                            unsigned long *addrs)

It iterates all kallsyms symbols and tries to loop up each in provided
symbols array with bsearch. The symbols array needs to be sorted by
name for this reason.

We also check each symbol to pass ftrace_location, because this API
will be used for fprobe symbols resolving.
