This is an 3058 indirect way for us to have B call resolve_symbol_wait() upon module 3059 load. This will eventually call find_symbol() which will eventually 3060 try to find the symbols used with find_exported_symbol_in_section(). 3061 find_exported_symbol_in_section() uses bsearch() so a binary search 3062 for each symbol. Binary search will at worst be O(log(n)) so the 3063 larger TEST_MODULE_KALLSYSMS the worse the search. 3064 3065 2) The selftests should load C first, before B. Upon B's load towards 3066 the end right before we call module B's init routine we get 3067 complete_formation() called on the module. That will first check 3068 for duplicate symbols with the call to verify_exported_symbols(). 3069 That is when we'll force iteration on module C's insane symbol list. 3070 Since it has 10 * KALLSYMS_NUMSYMS it means we can first test 3071 just loading B without C. The amount of time it takes to load C Vs 3072 B can give us an idea of the impact growth of the symbol space and 3073 give us projection. Module A only uses one symbol from B so to allow 3074 this scaling in module C to be proportional, if it used more symbols 3075 then the first test would be doing more and increasing just the 3076 search space would be slightly different. The last module, module D 3077 will just increase the search space by twice the number of symbols in 3078 C so to allow for full projects. 3079 3080 tools/testing/selftests/module/find_symbol.sh 3081 3082 The current defaults will incur a build delay of about 7 minutes 3083 on an x86_64 with only 8 cores.
