Date: Sun, 13 Jul 2014 12:00:43 +0100 From: Russell King <rmk+kernel@....linux.org.uk> To: Rusty Russell <rusty@...tcorp.com.au> Cc: linux-arm-kernel@...ts.infradead.org, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH] ARM: avoid ARM binutils leaking ELF local symbols Symbols starting with .L are ELF local symbols and should not appear in ELF symbol tables. However, unfortunately ARM binutils leaks the .LANCHOR symbols into the symbol table, which leads kallsyms to report these symbols rather than the real name. It is not very useful when %pf reports symbols against these leaked .LANCHOR symbols. Arrange for kallsyms to ignore these symbols using the same mechanism that is used for the ARM mapping symbols.
