Function kallsyms_on_each_symbol() traverses all symbols and submits each symbol to the hook 'fn' for judgment and processing. For some cases, the hook actually only handles the matched symbol, such as livepatch. Because all symbols are currently sorted by name, all the symbols with the same name are clustered together. Function kallsyms_lookup_names() gets the start and end positions of the set corresponding to the specified name. So we can easily and quickly traverse all the matches. The test results are as follows (twice): (x86) kallsyms_on_each_match_symbol: 7454, 7984 kallsyms_on_each_symbol : 11733809, 11785803 kallsyms_on_each_match_symbol() consumes only 0.066% of kallsyms_on_each_symbol()'s time. In other words, 1523x better performance. Signed-off-by: Zhen Lei <thunder.leizhen@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: Luis Chamberlain <mcgrof@kernel.org>
