In previously discussed [1] I proposed two variants and ask
for people's preferences. Will replied that he did not care and
let me choose that I like.
It seems to me that you more like variant 2 (provided here
for reference again). It would replace patch 1 and patch 2 of
version 2. Please confirm. I don't practically care much and
can use either. I personally preferred variant 1 because in
variant 2 $x will be filtered on ARM V7, but V7 ABI does not
say anything about $x, only Aarch64 does. I.e special symbols
do to match between V7 and V8 exactly. But as it is
already in other places like kallsyms, I agree practically it
may not matter. If you give your node to variant 2 (as below)
I can report this miniseries: Please let me know
Variant 2:

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] perf symbols: Ignore mapping symbols on aarch64
Aarch64 ELF files use mapping symbols with special names $x, $d
to identify regions of Aarch64 code (see Aarch64 ELF ABI - "ARM
IHI 0056B", section "4.5.4 Mapping symbols").
The patch filters out these symbols at load time, similar to
"696b97a perf symbols: Ignore mapping symbols on ARM" changes
done for ARM before V8.
Also added handling of mapping symbols that has format
"$d.<any>" and similar for both cases.
Note we are not making difference between EM_ARM and
EM_AARCH64 mapping symbols instead code handles superset
of both.
