Subject: [PATCH] kallsyms, tracing: output more proper symbol name
Impact: bugfix, output reliable result
Debug tools(dump_stack(), ftrace...) are like to print out symbols.
But it is always print out the first aliased symbol.(Aliased symbols
are symbols with the same address), and the first aliased symbol is
sometime not proper.
# echo function_graph > current_tracer
# cat trace

1) | default_idle() {

......
It's very embarrassing, it ouputs "__irqentry_text_start()",
*actually, it should output "smp_apic_timer_interrupt()"*.
(these two symbol are the same address, but "__irqentry_text_start"
is deemed to the first aliased symbol by scripts/kallsyms)
This patch puts symbols like "__irqentry_text_start" to the second
aliased symbols. And a more proper symbol name becomes the first.
A table is added in scripts/kallsyms.c, and the symbols in this table
have lower priority than other symbols(which are the same address).
This table is statically defined in scripts/kallsyms.c, is not
automatically generated by a script when kernel is being built.
It's for these reasons:
This table is(will be) updated very infrequently.
This table is short.
I don't want to add complexity to kernel-building
