This is an 3076 indirect way for us to have B call resolve_symbol_wait() upon module 3077 load. This will eventually call find_symbol() which will eventually 3078 try to find the symbols used with find_exported_symbol_in_section(). 3079 find_exported_symbol_in_section() uses bsearch() so a binary search 3080 for each symbol. Binary search will at worst be O(log(n)) so the 3081 larger TEST_MODULE_KALLSYSMS the worse the search. 3082 3083 2) The selftests should load C first, before B. Upon B's load towards 3084 the end right before we call module B's init routine we get 3085 complete_formation() called on the module. That will first check 3086 for duplicate symbols with the call to verify_exported_symbols(). 3087 That is when we'll force iteration on module C's insane symbol list. 3088 Since it has 10 * KALLSYMS_NUMSYMS it means we can first test 3089 just loading B without C. The amount of time it takes to load C Vs 3090 B can give us an idea of the impact growth of the symbol space and 3091 give us projection. Module A only uses one symbol from B so to allow 3092 this scaling in module C to be proportional, if it used more symbols 3093 then the first test would be doing more and increasing just the 3094 search space would be slightly different. The last module, module D 3095 will just increase the search space by twice the number of symbols in 3096 C so to allow for full projects. 3097 3098 tools/testing/selftests/module/find_symbol.sh 3099 3100 The current defaults will incur a build delay of about 7 minutes 3101 on an x86_64 with only 8 cores.
