[PATCH v2] perf test shell: Add -D to check dynamic symbols for ubuntu/debian

From: Li Zhijian
Date: Wed May 09 2018 - 03:45:50 EST


On Ubuntu and Debian, we can't find any symbol including "inet_pton" from 'nm -g'
root@vm-lkp-nex04-8G-5 ~# nm -g /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc-2.25.so | grep inet_pton
nm: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc-2.25.so: no symbols

it looks libc.so has different symbol compositions at different distros

Usage: nm [option(s)] [file(s)]
List symbols in [file(s)] (a.out by default).
The options are:
...snip...
-D, --dynamic Display dynamic symbols instead of normal symbols
--defined-only Display only defined symbols
-e (ignored)
-f, --format=FORMAT Use the output format FORMAT. FORMAT can be `bsd',
`sysv' or `posix'. The default is `bsd'
-g, --extern-only Display only external symbols

I tested both debian/ubuntu and RHEL, they work as expected
