[PATCH 01/10] perf test: Add Symbols test

From: Adrian Hunter
Date: Fri Jan 20 2023 - 07:35:21 EST


Add a test to check function symbols do not overlap and are not zero
length.

The main motivation for the test is to make it easier to review changes
to PLT symbol synthesis i.e. changes to dso__synthesize_plt_symbols().

By default the test uses the perf executable as a test DSO, but a
specific DSO can be specified via a new perf test option "--dso".

The test is useful in the following ways:
- Any DSO can be tested, even ones that do not run on the current
architecture. For example, using cross-compiled DSOs to see how
well perf handles different architectures.
- With verbose > 1 (e.g. -vv), all the symbols are printed, which
makes it easier to see issues.
- perf removes duplicate symbols and expands zero-length symbols
to reach the next symbol, however that is done before adding
synthesized symbols, so the test is checking those also.

Example:

$ perf test -v Symbols
74: Symbols :
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 154918
Testing /home/user/bin/perf
Overlapping symbols:
7d000-7f3a0 g _init
7d030-7d040 g __printf_chk@plt
test child finished with -1
---- end ----
Symbols: FAILED!

Note the test fails because perf expands the _init symbol over the PLT
because there are no PLT symbols at that point, but then
dso__synthesize_plt_symbols() creates them.
