Subject: [PATCH 00/13] get_abi.pl undefined: improve precision and performance

Hi Greg,

It follows a series of improvements for get_abi.pl. it is on the top of next-20210923.

With such changes, on my development tree, the script is taking 6 seconds to run 
on my desktop:

	$ !1076
	$ time ./scripts/get_abi.pl undefined |sort >undefined_after && cat undefined_after| perl -ne 'print "$1\n" if (m#.*/(\S+) not found#)'|sort|uniq -c|sort -nr >undefined_symbols; wc -l undefined_after undefined_symbols

	real	0m6,292s
	user	0m5,640s
	sys	0m0,634s
	  6838 undefined_after
	   808 undefined_symbols
	  7646 total

And 7 seconds on a Dell Precision 5820:

	$ time ./scripts/get_abi.pl undefined |sort >undefined && cat undefined| perl -ne 'print "$1\n" if (m#.*/(\S+) not found#)'|sort|uniq -c|sort -nr >undefined_symbols; wc -l undefined; wc -l undefined_symbols

	real	0m7.162s
	user	0m5.836s
	sys	0m1.329s
	6548 undefined
	772 undefined_symbols

Both tests were done against this tree (based on today's linux-next):

	$ https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mchehab/devel.git/log/?h=get_abi_undefined-latest

It should be noticed that, as my tree has several ABI fixes,  the time to run the
script is likely less than if you run on your tree, as there will be less symbols to
be reported, and the algorithm is optimized to reduce the number of regexes
when a symbol is found.

Besides optimizing and improving the seek logic, this series also change the
debug logic. It how receives a bitmap, where "8" means to print the regexes
that will be used by "undefined" command:

	$ time ./scripts/get_abi.pl undefined --debug 8 >foo
	real	0m17,189s
	user	0m13,940s
	sys	0m2,404s

	$wc -l foo
	18421939 foo

	$ cat foo
	...
	/sys/kernel/kexec_crash_loaded =~ /^(?^:^/sys/.*/iio\:device.*/in_voltage.*_scale_available$)$/
	/sys/kernel/kexec_crash_loaded =~ /^(?^:^/sys/.*/iio\:device.*/out_voltage.*_scale_available$)$/
	/sys/kernel/kexec_crash_loaded =~ /^(?^:^/sys/.*/iio\:device.*/out_altvoltage.*_scale_available$)$/
	/sys/kernel/kexec_crash_loaded =~ /^(?^:^/sys/.*/iio\:device.*/in_pressure.*_scale_available$)$/
	...

On other words, on my desktop, the /sys match is performing >18M regular 
expression searches, which takes 6,2 seconds (or 17,2 seconds, if debug is 
enabled and sent to an area on my nvme storage).

Regards,
Mauro
