Subject: perf auxtrace: Fix address filter entire kernel size
From: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 1f9f33ccf0320be21703d9195dd2b36a1c9a07cb upstream.
kallsyms is not completely in address order.
In find_entire_kern_cb(), calculate the kernel end from the maximum
address not the last symbol.
Example:
Before:
$ sudo cat /proc/kallsyms | grep ' [twTw] ' | tail -1
ffffffffc00b8bd0 t bpf_prog_6deef7357e7b4530 [bpf]
$ sudo cat /proc/kallsyms | grep ' [twTw] ' | sort | tail -1
ffffffffc15e0cc0 t iwl_mvm_exit [iwlmvm]
$ perf.d093603a05aa record -v --kcore -e intel_pt// --filter 'filter *' -- uname |& grep filter
Address filter: filter 0xffffffff93200000/0x2ceba000
After:
$ perf.8fb0f7a01f8e record -v --kcore -e intel_pt// --filter 'filter *' -- uname |& grep filter
Address filter: filter 0xffffffff93200000/0x2e3e2000
Fixes: 1b36c03e356936d6 ("perf record: Add support for using symbols in address filters")
