    selftests/bpf: make multi-uprobe tests work in RELEASE=1 mode · 623bdd58
    Andrii Nakryiko authored
    When BPF selftests are built in RELEASE=1 mode with -O2 optimization
    level, uprobe_multi binary, called from multi-uprobe tests is optimized
    to the point that all the thousands of target uprobe_multi_func_XXX
    functions are eliminated, breaking tests.
    
    So ensure they are preserved by using weak attribute.
    
    But, actually, compiling uprobe_multi binary with -O2 takes a really
    long time, and is quite useless (it's not a benchmark). So in addition
    to ensuring that uprobe_multi_func_XXX functions are preserved, opt-out
    of -O2 explicitly in Makefile and stick to -O0. This saves a lot of
    compilation time.
    
    With -O2, just recompiling uprobe_multi:
    
      $ touch uprobe_multi.c
      $ time make RELEASE=1 -j90
      make RELEASE=1 -j90  291.66s user 2.54s system 99% cpu 4:55.52 total
    
    With -O0:
      $ touch uprobe_multi.c
      $ time make RELEASE=1 -j90
      make RELEASE=1 -j90  22.40s user 1.91s system 99% cpu 24.355 total
    
    5 minutes vs (still slow, but...) 24 seconds.
