You can simplify this to


           depends on KALLSYMS && DEBUG_INFO

I re-checked the commit log of
a66049e2cf0ef166dba5bafdbb3062287fc965ad

It says "GCC since ~4.8 has defaulted to DWARF v4
implicitly, and GCC 11 has bumped this to v5"


When DEBUG_INFO is enabled, the dwarf version is 4 or 5.


Presumably, your code does not work with DEBUG_INFO_SPLIT


   depends on KALLSYMS && DEBUG_INFO && !DEBUG_INFO_SPLIT

<string.h> is included twice.

I always sort include directives alphabetically
to avoid such a mistake.

Dangerous code.
It is easy to cause a buffer overrun by setting a long string to CROSS_COMP=
ILE.


I am fine with adding ADDR2LINE in the top Makefile.

Tedious code to compute the vmlinux name.
You can pass vmlinux from command line.

What is the purpose of the ->next traverse in while() loop?

If you remember the last item,
you know where the new item should be connected, don't you?

Any reason why you did not use qsort() in the C library?


One disadvantage of quick sort is that it is not "stable sort".

But, your algorithm (sort by name and sort by address)
does not keep the order anyway.

Please do not use #ifdef CONFIG_ in host programs.

Also, please note include/linux/kconfig.h is not included
for host programs, so this #ifdef is always false.

You never tested this CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ALIAS_DATA

You cannot pass va_list to printf().

The correct code is:

          vprintf(fmt, args);

> +}


verbose_msg() prints the message to stdout.

If verbose_msge is enabled, the output file breaks
because you redirect both real data and debug messages
in this way:
   scripts/kas_alias/kas_alias <input>   > <output>


If you implement debug logging, I recommend this:

   scripts/kas_alias/kas_alias <input> <output>

This might be something new I should learn.

When I initialize a pointer, I always write like this:
        struct item *head =3D NULL;


I have never seen this style before:
        struct item *head =3D {NULL};

But, the compiler does not warn about it.
Could you educate me how it works?

"-v" or "--verbose" is better
(although there is no way to enable it.)


Anyway, I only see super-boring messages
even with -verbose given.

Scanning nm data()

Do you sort just for finding duplicates?


Since you sort the list by name, and then sort by address.

It can potentially change the order.


[input]
00000000 D foo
00000000 D bar
00000010 D baz

[merge sort by name]
00000000 D bar
00000010 D baz
00000000 D foo

[merge sort by address =3D final result]
00000000 D bar
00000000 D foo
00000010 D baz


It may not be a big deal, but such a destructive algorithm is frowned.


You do not need to sort the list to find duplicates.


Another choice is a hashtable of { name : count }.
Traversing the list, you can count the number of occurrences.
If count >=3D 2, it is duplicated.

The average look-up of a hashtable is O(1).
So, the hashtable (or set) algorithm is O(N).


Sorting is O(N log N).

I observed this error message:


scripts/link-vmlinux.sh: 93: [: is_enabled: unexpected operator


The correct code is this:


        if ! is_enabled CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ALIAS && \
