subject: bpf: Speed up symbol resolving in kprobe multi link

Fully exporting kallsyms_on_each_symbol function, so it can be used in following changes. Rather than adding another ifdef option let's export the function completely (when CONFIG_KALLSYMS option is defined). Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Reviewed-by: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org>
Adding ftrace_lookup_symbols function that resolves array of symbols with single pass over kallsyms. The user provides array of string pointers with count and pointer to allocated array for resolved values. int ftrace_lookup_symbols(const char **sorted_syms, size_t cnt, unsigned long *addrs) It iterates all kallsyms symbols and tries to loop up each in provided symbols array with bsearch. The symbols array needs to be sorted by name for this reason. We also check each symbol to pass ftrace_location, because this API will be used for fprobe symbols resolving.

Using ftrace_lookup_symbols to speed up symbols lookup in register_fprobe_syms API. Acked-by: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org>
Using kallsyms_lookup_names function to speed up symbols lookup in kprobe multi link attachment and replacing with it the current kprobe_multi_resolve_syms function. This speeds up bpftrace kprobe attachment: # perf stat -r 5 -e cycles ./src/bpftrace -e 'kprobe:x* { } i:ms:1 { exit(); }' ... 6.5681 +- 0.0225 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.34% ) After: # perf stat -r 5 -e cycles ./src/bpftrace -e 'kprobe:x* { } i:ms:1 { exit(); }' ... 0.5661 +- 0.0275 seconds time elapsed ( +- 4.85% ) Acked-by: Andrii Nakryiko <andrii@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org>
Adding test that reads all functions from ftrace available_filter_functions file and attach them all through kprobe_multi API. It also prints stats info with -v option, like on my setup: test_bench_attach: found 48712 functions test_bench_attach: attached in 1.069s test_bench_attach: detached in 0.373s Acked-by: Andrii Nakryiko <andrii@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org>
