__UNIQUE_ID uses the __COUNTER__ macro, and the __COUNTER__ macro is
automatically incremented by 1 every time it is precompiled. Therefore, in
different compilation units, the same structure has different names.Here is
a concrete example:
struct acpi_dev_node {
union {
struct acpi_device *companion;
struct {
void *handle;
} __UNIQUE_ID_rh_kabi_hide29;
union { };
};
};
struct acpi_dev_node {
union {
struct acpi_device *companion;
struct {
void *handle;
} __UNIQUE_ID_rh_kabi_hide31;
union { };
};
};
Finally, it will cause the btf algorithm to de-duplication efficiency is not
high, and time-consuming. For example, running ./pahole -J
vmlinux-3.10.0-1160.el7.x86_64 without --kabi_prefix flag, the running time
is:
real 8m28.912s
user 8m27.271s
sys 0m1.471s
And the size of the generated btf segment is 30678240 bytes.
After adding the patch, running ./pahole
--kabi_prefix=__UNIQUE_ID_rh_kabi_hide -J vmlinux-3.10.0-1160.el7.x86_64.
The running time of the command is:
real 0m19.634s
user 0m18.457s
sys 0m1.169s
And the size of the generated btf segment is 3117719 bytes.
