Petr had just suggested removing this aspect of the selftests, the performance test as its specific to the config, it doesn't run many times to get an average and odd things on a system can create different metrics. Zhen Lei had given up on fixing it and has a patch to instead remove this part of the selftest. I still find value in keeping it, but Petr, would like your opinion on this fix, if we were to keep it.

I am fine with this fix. It increases a risk of possible inaccuracy of the measured time. It would count also time spent on unrelated interrupts and eventual rescheduling. Anyway, it is safe at least. I was against the previous attempts to fix this problem because they might have caused problems for the rest of the system. Best Regards, Petr

kallsyms_on_each* may schedule so must not be called with interrupts disabled. The iteration function could disable interrupts, but this also changes lookup_symbol() to match the change to the other timing code.
