I personally find them useful, but it's possible they may not serve a significant purpose. Therefore, before proceeding with any modifications, I'd like to receive feedback regarding their usefulness. In essence, these two configuration items enable the creation of unique variable names. Since I couldn't identify any other method to ensure their uniqueness except by adding the "__alias__<seqnum>" as seen in my v1 patch, it's important to note that the resulting names may be less meaningful than those for function names. > > +#define SYMB_NEEDS_ALIAS(s) (SYMB_IS_TEXT(s) || SYMB_IS_DATA(s)) > > +#else > > +#define SYMB_NEEDS_ALIAS(s) SYMB_IS_TEXT(s) > > +#endif > > +#define FNOMATCH 0 > > +#define FMATCH 1 > > +#define EREGEX 2 > > + > > +const char *ignore_regex[] = { > > + "^__cfi_.*$", // __cfi_ preamble > > +#ifndef CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ALIAS_DATA_ALL > > + "^_*TRACE_SYSTEM.*$", > > + "^__already_done\\.[0-9]+$", // Call a function once data > > + "^___tp_str\\.[0-9]+$", > > + "^___done\\.[0-9]+$", > > + "^__print_once\\.[0-9]+$", > > + "^_rs\\.[0-9]+$", > > + "^__compound_literal\\.[0-9]+$", > > + "^___once_key\\.[0-9]+$", > > + "^__func__\\.[0-9]+$", > > + "^__msg\\.[0-9]+$", > > + "^CSWTCH\\.[0-9]+$", > > + "^__flags\\.[0-9]+$", > > + "^__wkey.*$", > > + "^__mkey.*$", > > + "^__key.*$", > > +#endif > > + "^__pfx_.*$" // NOP-padding > > +}; > > + > > +int suffix_serial; > > + > > +static inline void verbose_msg(bool verbose, const char *fmt, ...) > > Meaningless 'inline'.

To clarify, what you're witnessing is an error that arose during the debugging process. During my debugging phase, I had a habit of initializing variables. However, when it came time to reset them to NULL, I inadvertently made the wrong adjustment. >From a compiler's perspective, these mistakes yield the same outcome and no error as setting the pointer to NULL, which is why the error went unnoticed. Moving forward, I plan to be more attentive to ensure I produce higher-quality code for my upcoming contributions. > > + bool need_2_process = true; > > + struct item *last = {NULL}; > > + struct item *current; > > + int verbose_mode = 0; > > + uint64_t address; > > + FILE *fp; > > + int res; > > + > > + if (argc < 2 || argc > 3) { > > + printf("Usage: %s <nmfile> [-verbose]\n", argv[0]); > > + return 1; > > + } > > + > > + if (argc == 3 && strcmp(argv[2], "-verbose") == 0) > > > "-v" or "--verbose" is better > (although there is no way to enable it.) > > > Anyway, I only see super-boring messages > even with -verbose given. > > Scanning nm data() > Sorting nm data > Scanning nm data for duplicates > Applying suffixes > > > > > + verbose_mode = 1; > > + > > + verbose_msg(verbose_mode, "Scanning nm data(%s)\n", argv[1]); > > + > > + fp = fopen(argv[1], "r"); > > + if (!fp) { > > + printf("Can't open input file.\n"); > > + return 1; > > + } > > + > > + if (!addr2line_init(get_addr2line(A2L_DEFAULT), get_vmlinux(argv[1]))) > > + return 1; > > + > > + while (fscanf(fp, "%lx %c %99s\n", &address, &t, sym_name) == 3) { > > + if (strstr(sym_name, "@_")) { > > + if (verbose_mode && need_2_process) > > + printf("Already processed\n"); > > + need_2_process = false; > > + } > > + last = add_item(&last, sym_name, t, address); > > + if (!last) { > > + printf("Error in allocate memory\n"); > > + free_items(&head); > > + return 1; > > + } > > + > > + if (!head) > > + head = last; > > + } > > + > > + fclose(fp); > > + > > + if (need_2_process) { > > + verbose_msg(verbose_mode, "Sorting nm data\n"); > > + sort_list_m(&head, BY_NAME); > > + verbose_msg(verbose_mode, "Scanning nm data for duplicates\n"); > > + duplicate = find_duplicates(head); > > + if (!duplicate) { > > + printf("Error in duplicates list\n"); > > + return 1; > > + } > > + > > + verbose_msg(verbose_mode, "Applying suffixes\n"); > > + build_index(head); > > + duplicate_iterator = duplicate; > > + while (duplicate_iterator) { > > + res = filter_symbols(duplicate_iterator->original_item->symb_name, > > + ignore_regex, sizeof(ignore_regex) / > > + sizeof(ignore_regex[0])); > > + if (res != FMATCH && > > + SYMB_NEEDS_ALIAS(duplicate_iterator->original_item)) { > > + if (res < 0) > > + return 1; > > + > > + create_file_suffix(duplicate_iterator->original_item->symb_name, > > + duplicate_iterator->original_item->addr, > > + new_name, vmlinux_path); > > + if (!insert_after(head, duplicate_iterator->original_item->addr, > > + new_name, duplicate_iterator->original_item->addr, > > + duplicate_iterator->original_item->stype)) > > + return 1; > > + } > > + > > + duplicate_iterator = duplicate_iterator->next; > > + } > > + > > + sort_list_m(&head, BY_ADDRESS); > > > > Do you sort just for finding duplicates? > > > Since you sort the list by name, and then sort by address. > > It can potentially change the order. > > > [input] > 00000000 D foo > 00000000 D bar > 00000010 D baz > > [merge sort by name] > 00000000 D bar > 00000010 D baz > 00000000 D foo > > [merge sort by address = final result] > 00000000 D bar > 00000000 D foo > 00000010 D baz > > > It may not be a big deal, but such a destructive algorithm is frowned. > > > > You do not need to sort the list to find duplicates. > > > Another choice is a hashtable of { name : count }. > Traversing the list, you can count the number of occurrences. > If count >= 2, it is duplicated. > > The average look-up of a hashtable is O(1). > So, the hashtable (or set) algorithm is O(N). > > > Sorting is O(N log N). > > > > > > > diff --git a/scripts/link-vmlinux.sh b/scripts/link-vmlinux.sh > > index a432b171be82..cacf60b597ce 100755 > > --- a/scripts/link-vmlinux.sh > > +++ b/scripts/link-vmlinux.sh > > @@ -89,8 +89,9 @@ vmlinux_link() > > > > ldflags="${ldflags} ${wl}--script=${objtree}/${KBUILD_LDS}" > > > > - # The kallsyms linking does not need debug symbols included. > > - if [ "$output" != "${output#.tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms}" ] ; then > > + # The kallsyms linking does not need debug symbols included, unless the KALLSYMS_ALIAS. > > + if [ ! is_enabled CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ALIAS ] && \ > > > I observed this error message: > > > scripts/link-vmlinux.sh: 93: [: is_enabled: unexpected operator > > > The correct code is this: > > > if ! is_enabled CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ALIAS && \ > > > > > > > > > > > > + [ "$output" != "${output#.tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms}" ] ; then > > ldflags="${ldflags} ${wl}--strip-debug" > > fi > > > > @@ -161,7 +162,11 @@ kallsyms() > > fi > > > > info KSYMS ${2} > > - scripts/kallsyms ${kallsymopt} ${1} > ${2} > > + if is_enabled CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ALIAS; then > > + ALIAS=".alias" > > + scripts/kas_alias/kas_alias ${1} >${1}${ALIAS} > > + fi > > + scripts/kallsyms ${kallsymopt} ${1}${ALIAS} > ${2} > > } > > > > # Perform one step in kallsyms generation, including temporary linking of > > -- > > 2.34.1 > > > > > -- > Best Regards > > > > Masahiro Yamada thank you
