livepatch: Reduce the time of finding module symbols
It's reported that the time of insmoding a klp.ko for one of our out-tree modules is too long. ~ time sudo insmod klp.ko real 0m23.799s user 0m0.036s sys 0m21.256s Then we found the reason: our out-tree module used a lot of static local variables, so klp.ko has a lot of relocation records which reference the module. Then for each such entry klp_find_object_symbol() is called to resolve it, but this function uses the interface kallsyms_on_each_symbol() even for finding module symbols, so will waste a lot of time on walking through vmlinux kallsyms table many times. This patch changes it to use module_kallsyms_on_each_symbol() for modules symbols. After we apply this patch, the sys time reduced dramatically. ~ time sudo insmod klp.ko real 0m1.007s user 0m0.032s sys 0m0.924s Signed-off-by: Zhou Chengming <zhouchengming1@huawei.com> Acked-by: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@redhat.com> Acked-by: Jessica Yu <jeyu@redhat.com> Acked-by: Miroslav Benes <mbenes@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz>
