Its similar to doing grep on a /proc/kallsyms, but it also shows extra information like the path to the kernel module and the unrelocated addresses in it, to help in diagnosing problems. It is also helps demonstrate the use of the symbols routines so that tool writers can use them more effectively.

NAME
|
|
----
|
|
perf-kallsyms - Searches running kernel for symbols
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
[verse]
|
|
'perf kallsyms <options> symbol_name[,symbol_name...]'
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
This command searches the running kernel kallsyms file for the given symbol(s)
|
|
and prints information about it, including the DSO, the kallsyms begin/end
|
|
addresses and the addresses in the ELF kallsyms symbol table (for symbols in
|
|
modules).
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
-v::
|
|
--verbose=::
|
