From f6537f2f0eba4eba3354e48dbe3047db6d8b6254 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ming Lei Date: Sat, 2 Nov 2013 09:11:33 +1030 Subject: scripts/kallsyms: filter symbols not in kernel address space This patch uses CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET to filter symbols which are not in kernel address space because these symbols are generally for generating code purpose and can't be run at kernel mode, so we needn't keep them in /proc/kallsyms. For example, on ARM there are some symbols which may be linked in relocatable code section, then perf can't parse symbols any more from /proc/kallsyms, this patch fixes the problem (introduced b9b32bf70f2fb710b07c94e13afbc729afe221da) Cc: Russell King Cc: linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org Cc: Michal Marek Signed-off-by: Ming Lei Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org --- scripts/link-vmlinux.sh | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) (limited to 'scripts/link-vmlinux.sh') diff --git a/scripts/link-vmlinux.sh b/scripts/link-vmlinux.sh index 014994936b1c..32b10f53d0b4 100644 --- a/scripts/link-vmlinux.sh +++ b/scripts/link-vmlinux.sh @@ -82,6 +82,8 @@ kallsyms() kallsymopt="${kallsymopt} --all-symbols" fi + kallsymopt="${kallsymopt} --page-offset=$CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET" + local aflags="${KBUILD_AFLAGS} ${KBUILD_AFLAGS_KERNEL} \ ${NOSTDINC_FLAGS} ${LINUXINCLUDE} ${KBUILD_CPPFLAGS}" -- cgit v1.2.3-55-g7522
