hex2u64 is a helper that's out of place in kallsyms.h as not being
kallsyms related. Move from kallsyms.h to the only user.Committer notes:
Move it out of tools/lib/symbol/kallsyms.c as well, as we had to leave
it there in the previous patch lest we break the build.Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers

'perf record' will call kallsyms__parse 4 times during startup and
process megabytes of data. This changes kallsyms__parse to use the io
library rather than fgets to improve performance of the user code by
over 8%.Before:
Running 'internals/kallsyms-parse' benchmark:
Average kallsyms__parse took: 103.988 ms (+- 0.203 ms)After:
Running 'internals/kallsyms-parse' benchmark:
Average kallsyms__parse took: 95.571 ms (+- 0.006 ms)For a workload like:
$ perf record /bin/true
Run under 'perf record -e cycles:u -g' the time goes from:
Before
30.10% 1.67% perf perf [.] kallsyms__parse
After
25.55% 20.04% perf perf [.] kallsyms__parseSo a little under 5% of the start-up time is removed. A lot of what
remains is on the kernel side, but caching kallsyms within perf would at
least impact memory footprint.Committer notes:
The internal/kallsyms-parse bench is run using:
[root@five ~]# perf bench internals kallsyms-parse
# Running 'internals/kallsyms-parse' benchmark:
Average kallsyms__parse took: 80.381 ms (+- 0.115 ms)
[root@five ~]#And this pre-existing test uses these routines to parse kallsyms and
then compare with the info obtained from the matching ELF symtab:[root@five ~]# perf test vmlinux
1: vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms : Ok
[root@five ~]#Also we can't remove hex2u64() in this patch as this breaks the build:
/usr/bin/ld: /tmp/build/perf/perf-in.o: in function `modules__parse':
/home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/util/symbol.c:607: undefined reference to `hex2u64'

/usr/bin/ld: /home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/util/symbol.c:1483: undefined reference to `hex2u64'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit statusLeave it there, move it in the next patch.

We got the sane_ctype.h headers from git and kept using it so far, but
since that code originally came from the kernel sources to the git
sources, perhaps its better to just use the one in the kernel, so that
we can leverage tools/perf/check_headers.sh to be notified when our copy
gets out of sync, i.e. when fixes or goodies are added to the code we've
copied.This will help with things like tools/lib/string.c where we want to have
more things in common with the kernel, such as strim(), skip_spaces(),
etc so as to go on removing the things that we have in tools/perf/util/
and instead using the code in the kernel, indirectly and removing things
like EXPORT_SYMBOL(), etc, getting notified when fixes and improvements
are made to the original code.Hopefully this also should help with reducing the difference of code
hosted in tools/ to the one in the kernel proper.Cc: Adrian Hunter

It was just including a ../util.h that wasn't even there:
$ cat tools/perf/util/include/linux/../util.h
cat: tools/perf/util/include/linux/../util.h: No such file or directory
$This would make kallsyms.h get util.h somehow and then files including
it would get util.h defined stuff, a mess, fix it.Cc: Adrian Hunter

Just removing more stuff from tools/perf/, this is mostly used in the
kallsyms parsing and in places in perf where kallsyms is involved, so we
get it for free there.With this we reduce a bit more util.h.

Adding check on failed attempt to parse the address and skip the line
parsing early in that case.The address can be replaced with '(null)' string in case user don't have
enough permissions, like:$ cat /proc/kallsyms
(null) A irq_stack_union
(null) A __per_cpu_start

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if

It is about binding, not type, we have just a letter in kallsyms that
should map both for the ELF type (STT_FUNC, etc) and to the ELF
symbol binding (STB_WEAK, STB_GLOBAL, etc), so rename it now before
introducing kallsyms2_elf_type()Cc: Adrian Hunter

Eventually this should be useful to other tools/ living utilities.
For now don't try to build any .a, just trying the minimal approach of
separating existing code into multiple .c files that can then be
included wherever they are needed, using whatever build machinery
already in place.Cc: Adrian Hunter
