Subject: [PATCH 1/1 perf-tools-next] perf symbols: Handle 'u' symbols in
 /proc/kallsyms

I started seeing this in recent Fedora 42 kernels:

  # uname -a
  Linux number 6.14.3-300.fc42.x86_64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Sun Apr 20 16:08:39 UTC 2025 x86_64 GNU/Linux
  #

  # perf test vmlinux
    1: vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms                                 : FAILED!
  #

Where we have Rust enabled:

  # grep CONFIG_RUST /boot/config-6.14.3-300.fc42.x86_64
  CONFIG_RUSTC_VERSION=108600
  CONFIG_RUST_IS_AVAILABLE=y
  CONFIG_RUSTC_LLVM_VERSION=200101
  CONFIG_RUSTC_HAS_COERCE_POINTEE=y
  CONFIG_RUST=y
  CONFIG_RUSTC_VERSION_TEXT="rustc 1.86.0 (05f9846f8 2025-03-31) (Fedora 1.86.0-1.fc42)"
  CONFIG_RUST_FW_LOADER_ABSTRACTIONS=y
  CONFIG_RUST_PHYLIB_ABSTRACTIONS=y
  # CONFIG_RUST_DEBUG_ASSERTIONS is not set
  CONFIG_RUST_OVERFLOW_CHECKS=y
  # CONFIG_RUST_BUILD_ASSERT_ALLOW is not set
  #

Looking at the reason for the failure:

  # perf test -v vmlinux |& grep ^ERR
  ERR : 0xffffffff99efc7d0: __pfx__RNCINvNtNtNtCsf5tcb0XGUW4_4core4iter8adapters3map12map_try_foldjNtCsagR6JbSOIa9_12drm_panic_qr7VersionuINtNtNtBa_3ops12control_flow11ControlFlowB10_ENcB10_0NCINvNvNtNtNtB8_6traits8iterator8Iterator4find5checkB10_NCNvMB12_B10_13from_segments0E0E0B12_ not on kallsyms
  ERR : 0xffffffff99efc7e0: _RNCINvNtNtNtCsf5tcb0XGUW4_4core4iter8adapters3map12map_try_foldjNtCsagR6JbSOIa9_12drm_panic_qr7VersionuINtNtNtBa_3ops12control_flow11ControlFlowB10_ENcB10_0NCINvNvNtNtNtB8_6traits8iterator8Iterator4find5checkB10_NCNvMB12_B10_13from_segments0E0E0B12_ not on kallsyms
  #

But:

  # grep -w u /proc/kallsyms
  ffffffff99efc7d0 u __pfx__RNCINvNtNtNtCsf5tcb0XGUW4_4core4iter8adapters3map12map_try_foldjNtCsagR6JbSOIa9_12drm_panic_qr7VersionuINtNtNtBa_3ops12control_flow11ControlFlowB10_ENcB10_0NCINvNvNtNtNtB8_6traits8iterator8Iterator4find5checkB10_NCNvMB12_B10_13from_segments0E0E0B12_
  ffffffff99efc7e0 u _RNCINvNtNtNtCsf5tcb0XGUW4_4core4iter8adapters3map12map_try_foldjNtCsagR6JbSOIa9_12drm_panic_qr7VersionuINtNtNtBa_3ops12control_flow11ControlFlowB10_ENcB10_0NCINvNvNtNtNtB8_6traits8iterator8Iterator4find5checkB10_NCNvMB12_B10_13from_segments0E0E0B12_
  #

The test checks that "vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms", so it finds those two
symbols in vmlinux:

  # pahole --running_kernel_vmlinux
  /usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/6.14.3-300.fc42.x86_64/vmlinux
  #

  # readelf -sW /usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/6.14.3-300.fc42.x86_64/vmlinux | grep -Ew '(__pfx__RNCINvNtNtNtCsf5tcb0XGUW4_4core4iter8adapters3map12map_try_foldjNtCsagR6JbSOIa9_12drm_panic_qr7VersionuINtNtNtBa_3ops12control_flow11ControlFlowB10_ENcB10_0NCINvNvNtNtNtB8_6traits8iterator8Iterator4find5checkB10_NCNvMB12_B10_13from_segments0E0E0B12_|_RNCINvNtNtNtCsf5tcb0XGUW4_4core4iter8adapters3map12map_try_foldjNtCsagR6JbSOIa9_12drm_panic_qr7VersionuINtNtNtBa_3ops12control_flow11ControlFlowB10_ENcB10_0NCINvNvNtNtNtB8_6traits8iterator8Iterator4find5checkB10_NCNvMB12_B10_13from_segments0E0E0B12_)'

  #

It is there.

So lets consider 'u' symbols in /proc/kallsyms when loading it to cover this case.

With this patch 'perf test 1' is happy again:

  # perf test vmlinux
    1: vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms                                 : Ok
