ashimida 466cd9ebc5 mksysmap: Fix the mismatch of '.L' symbols in System.map
[ Upstream commit 72d24accf0 ]

When System.map was generated, the kernel used mksysmap to
filter the kernel symbols, but all the symbols with the
second letter 'L' in the kernel were filtered out, not just
the symbols starting with 'dot + L'.

For example:
ashimida@ubuntu:~/linux$ cat System.map |grep ' .L'
ashimida@ubuntu:~/linux$ nm -n vmlinux |grep ' .L'
ffff0000088028e0 t bLength_show
......
ffff0000092e0408 b PLLP_OUTC_lock
ffff0000092e0410 b PLLP_OUTA_lock

The original intent should be to filter out all local symbols
starting with '.L', so the dot should be escaped.

Executable File

#!/bin/sh -x

Based on the vmlinux file create the System.map file

System.map is used by module-init tools and some debugging

tools to retrieve the actual addresses of symbols in the kernel.

Usage

mksysmap vmlinux System.map

Generate System.map (actual filename passed as second argument)

$NM produces the following output:

f0081e80 T alloc_vfsmnt

The second row specify the type of the symbol:

A = Absolute

B = Uninitialised data (.bss)

C = Common symbol

D = Initialised data

G = Initialised data for small objects

I = Indirect reference to another symbol

N = Debugging symbol

R = Read only

S = Uninitialised data for small objects

T = Text code symbol

U = Undefined symbol

V = Weak symbol

W = Weak symbol

Corresponding small letters are local symbols

For System.map filter away:

a - local absolute symbols

U - undefined global symbols

N - debugging symbols

w - local weak symbols

readprofile starts reading symbols when _stext is found, and

continue until it finds a symbol which is not either of 'T', 't',

'W' or 'w'. _crc are 'A' and placed in the middle

so we just ignore them to let readprofile continue to work.

(At least sparc64 has _crc in the middle).

$NM -n $1 | grep -v '( [aNUw] )|(_crc)|( $[adt])|( .L)' > $2
