With LTO builds, although regular builds could also see this as
all the code is in one file, the datasym workload can realize the
buf1.reserved data is never accessed. The compiler moves the
variable to bss and only keeps the data1 and data2 parts as
separate variables. This causes the symbol check to fail in the
test. Make the variable volatile to disable the more aggressive
optimization. Rename the variable to make which buf1 in perf is
being referred to.
Before:
$ perf test -vv "data symbol"
126: Test data symbol:
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 299808
perf does not have symbol 'buf1'
perf is missing symbols - skipping test
---- end(-2) ----
126: Test data symbol : Skip
$ nm perf|grep buf1
0000000000a5fa40 b buf1.0
0000000000a5fa48 b buf1.1
After:
$ nm perf|grep buf1
0000000000a53a00 d buf1
$ perf test -vv "data symbol"126: Test data symbol:
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 302166
a53a00-a53a39 l buf1
perf does have symbol 'buf1'

Unlike others it has an infinite loop that make it annoying to call.
Make it finish after 1 second and handle command-line argument to change
the setting.

To prevent anyone from seeing a test failure appear as a regression and
thinking that it was caused by their code change, insert some noise into
the loop which makes it immune to sampling bias issues (errata 1694299).
The "test data symbol" test can fail with any unrelated change that
shifts the loop into an unfortunate position in the Perf binary which is
almost impossible to debug as the root cause of the test failure.
Ultimately it's caused by the referenced errata.

The datasym workload is to check if perf mem command gets the data
addresses precisely. This is needed for data symbol test.
$ perf test -w datasym
I had to keep the buf1 in the data section, otherwise it could end
up in the BSS and was mmaped as a separate //anon region, then it
was not symbolized at all. It needs to be fixed separately.
Committer notes:
Add a -U _FORTIFY_SOURCE to the datasym CFLAGS, as the main perf flags
set it and it requires building with optimization, and this new test has
a -O0.
