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 [1] https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/CAEf4BzZtQaiUxQ-sm_hH2qKPRaqGHyOfEsW96DxtBHRaKLoL3Q@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ [2] https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20220407125224.310255-1-jolsa@xxxxxxxxxx/ --- Jiri Olsa (5): kallsyms: Fully export kallsyms_on_each_symbol function ftrace: Add ftrace_lookup_symbols function fprobe: Resolve symbols with ftrace_lookup_symbols bpf: Resolve symbols with ftrace_lookup_symbols for kprobe multi link selftests/bpf: Add attach bench test include/linux/ftrace.h | 6 ++++++ include/linux/kallsyms.h | 7 ++++++- kernel/kallsyms.c | 3 +-- kernel/trace/bpf_trace.c | 112 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---------------------------------------------- kernel/trace/fprobe.c | 32 ++++++++++++-------------------- kernel/trace/ftrace.c | 62 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ tools/testing/selftests/bpf/prog_tests/kprobe_multi_test.c | 143 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ tools/testing/selftests/bpf/progs/kprobe_multi_empty.c | 12 ++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 308 insertions(+), 69 deletions(-) create mode 100644 tools/testing/selftests/bpf/progs/kprobe_multi_empty.c
