I hit the following failure when running selftests with internal backported upstream kernel: test_ksyms:PASS:kallsyms_fopen 0 nsec test_ksyms:FAIL:ksym_find symbol 'bpf_link_fops' not found #123 ksyms:FAIL In /proc/kallsyms, we have $ cat /proc/kallsyms | grep bpf_link_fops ffffffff829f0cb0 d bpf_link_fops.llvm.12608678492448798416 The CONFIG_LTO_CLANG_THIN is enabled in the kernel which is responsible for bpf_link_fops.llvm.12608678492448798416 symbol name. In prog_tests/ksyms.c we have kallsyms_find("bpf_link_fops", &link_fops_addr) and kallsyms_find() compares "bpf_link_fops" with symbols in /proc/kallsyms in order to find the entry. With bpf_link_fops.llvm.<hash> in /proc/kallsyms, the kallsyms_find() failed. To fix the issue, in kallsyms_find(), if a symbol has suffix .llvm.<hash>, that suffix will be ignored for comparison. This fixed the test failure.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
