Without program headers for PTI entry trampoline pages, the trampoline virtual addresses do not map to anything. Example before: sudo gdb --quiet vmlinux /proc/kcore Reading symbols from vmlinux...done. [New process 1] Core was generated by `BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-4.16.0 root=UUID=a6096b83-b763-4101-807e-f33daff63233'. #0 0x0000000000000000 in irq_stack_union () (gdb) x /21ib 0xfffffe0000006000 0xfffffe0000006000: Cannot access memory at address 0xfffffe0000006000 (gdb) quit After: sudo gdb --quiet vmlinux /proc/kcore [sudo] password for ahunter: Reading symbols from vmlinux...done.

Represent that by giving the corresponding program headers in kcore the same offset. This has the benefit that, when perf tools uses /proc/kcore as a source for kernel object code, samples from different CPU trampolines are aggregated together. Note, such aggregation is normal for profiling i.e. people want to profile the object code, not every different virtual address the object code might be mapped to (across different processes for example). Notes by PeterZ: This also adds the KCORE_REMAP functionality.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
