symbols: expand all kernel module symtable if not all expanded previo…

…usly There is an issue that, for kernel modules, "dis -rl" fails to display modules code line number data after execute "bt" command in crash. Without the patch: crsah> mod -S crash> bt PID: 1500 TASK: ff2bd8b093524000 CPU: 16 COMMAND: "lpfc_worker_0" #0 [ff2c9f725c39f9e0] machine_kexec at ffffffff8e0686d3 ...snip... crash-utility#8 [ff2c9f725c39fcc0] __lpfc_sli_release_iocbq_s4 at ffffffffc0f2f425 [lpfc] ...snip... crash> dis -rl ffffffffc0f60f82 0xffffffffc0f60eb0 <lpfc_nlp_get>: nopl 0x0(%rax,%rax,1) [FTRACE NOP] 0xffffffffc0f60eb5 <lpfc_nlp_get+5>: push %rbp 0xffffffffc0f60eb6 <lpfc_nlp_get+6>: push %rbx 0xffffffffc0f60eb7 <lpfc_nlp_get+7>: test %rdi,%rdi With the patch: crash> mod -S crash> bt PID: 1500 TASK: ff2bd8b093524000 CPU: 16 COMMAND: "lpfc_worker_0" #0 [ff2c9f725c39f9e0] machine_kexec at ffffffff8e0686d3 ...snip... crash-utility#8 [ff2c9f725c39fcc0] __lpfc_sli_release_iocbq_s4 at ffffffffc0f2f425 [lpfc] ...snip... crash> dis -rl ffffffffc0f60f82 /usr/src/debug/kernel-4.18.0-425.13.1.el8_7/linux-4.18.0-425.13.1.el8_7.x86_64/drivers/scsi/lpfc/lpfc_hbadisc.c: 6756 0xffffffffc0f60eb0 <lpfc_nlp_get>: nopl 0x0(%rax,%rax,1) [FTRACE NOP] /usr/src/debug/kernel-4.18.0-425.13.1.el8_7/linux-4.18.0-425.13.1.el8_7.x86_64/drivers/scsi/lpfc/lpfc_hbadisc.c: 6759 0xffffffffc0f60eb5 <lpfc_nlp_get+5>: push %rbp The root cause is, after kernel module been loaded by mod command, the symtable is not expanded in gdb side. crash bt or dis command will trigger such an expansion.

For the stacktrace of "dis -rl", it calls dw2_expand_all_symtabs() to expand all symtable of the objfile, or "*.ko.debug" in our case. However for the stacktrace of "bt", it doesn't expand all, but only a subset of symtable which is enough to find a symbol by dw2_lookup_symbol(). As a result, the objfile->compunit_symtabs, which is the head of a single linked list of struct compunit_symtab, is not NULL but didn't contain all symtables. It will not be reinitialized in gdb_get_line_number() by "dis -rl" because !objfile_has_full_symbols(objfile) check will fail, so it cannot display the proper code line number data. Since objfile_has_full_symbols(objfile) check cannot ensure all symbols been expanded, this patch add a new member as a flag for struct objfile to record if all symbols have been expanded. The flag will be set only ofter expand_all_symtabs been called. Signed-off-by: Tao Liu <[email protected]>
