Applied to for-next/hardening, thanks!

[1/1] kallsyms: strip LTO suffixes from static functions
      https://git.kernel.org/kees/c/6eb4bd92c1ce

Also,if you get a moment, can you set up patatt (or b4) to sign your
outgoing patches? DKIM is nice, but I'd like to see more folks signing
their emailed patches: https://github.com/mricon/patatt

tl;dr:

add to ~/.gitconfig:
[patatt]
    signingkey = openpgp:FINGERPRINT-HERE

# install git sendemail hook (assuming you send with git)
$ patatt install-hook

# or do it manually before sending:
$ patatt sign $file-with-email

Thanks!
