[PATCH v4 07/18] perf clang jit: Insignt BPF and JIT functions in a Module

From: Wang Nan
Date: Tue Dec 06 2016 - 02:17:26 EST


Identify BPF functions, JIT functions and maps during init. Functions in
section starting with "perfhook:" are JIT functions. They will be JIT
compiled and hooked at perfhooks.

During init of PerfModule, mark JIT functions as AvailableExternallyLinkage.
LLVM skips functions with linkage like this so they won't be compiled
into BPF objects.
