Adrian Hunter 0bdfbd04c6 perf tools: Make it possible to see perf's kernel and module memory mappings
Dump kmaps if using 'perf --debug kmaps' or verbose > 2 (e.g. -vvv) for
tools 'perf script' and 'perf report' if there is no browser.

Example:

  $ perf --debug kmaps script 2>&1 >/dev/null | grep kvm.intel
  build id event received for /lib/modules/6.7.2-local/kernel/arch/x86/kvm/kvm-intel.ko: 0691d75e10e72ebbbd45a44c59f6d00a5604badf [20]
  Map: 0-3a3 4f5d8 [kvm_intel].modinfo

  Map: 0-5297 43680 [kvm_intel].rodata

  Map: 0-380 70248 [kvm_intel]__dyndbg
  Map: 0-8 70218 [kvm_intel].exit.data
  Map: 0-438 4f980 [kvm_intel]__param

  Map: 0-3657 493b8 [kvm_intel].rodata.str1.8
  Map: 0-e0 70640 [kvm_intel].data..ro_after_init
  Map: 0-500 70ec0 [kvm_intel].gnu.linkonce.this_module
  Map: ffffffffc13a7000-ffffffffc1421000 a0 /lib/modules/6.7.2-local/kernel/arch/x86/kvm/kvm-intel.ko

The example above shows how the module section mappings are all wrong
except for the main .text mapping at 0xffffffffc13a7000.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
