Subject: [PATCH] scripts/mksysmap: skip objtool __pfx_ symbols

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@...db.de>

The recently added testcase for overly long symbols triggers when
CONFIG_FUNCTION_PADDING_CFI is set:

Symbol __pfx_snnnng1h2i3j4k5l6m7ng1h2i3j4k5l6m7nng1h2i3j4k5l6m7ng1h2i3j4k5l6m7nnng1h2i3j4k5l6m7ng1h2i3j4k5l6m7nng1h2i3j4k5l6m7ng1h2i3j4k5l6m7nnnng1h2i3j4k5l6m7ng1h2i3j4k5l6m7nng1h2i3j4k5l6m7ng1h2i3j4k5l6m7nnng1h2i3j4k5l6m7ng1h2i3j4k5l6m7nng1h2i3j4k5l6m7ng1h2i3j4k5l6m7nnnnng1h2i3j4k5l6m7ng1h2i3j4k5l6m7nng1h2i3j4k5l6m7ng1h2i3j4k5l6m7nnng1h2i3j4k5l6m7ng1h2i3j4k5l6m7nng1h2i3j4k5l6m7ng1h2i3j4k5l6m7nnnng1h2i3j4k5l6m7ng1h2i3j4k5l6m7nng1h2i3j4k5l6m7ng1h2i3j4k5l6m7nnng1h2i3j4k5l6m7ng1h2i3j4k5l6m7nng1h2i3j4k5l6m7ng1h2i3j4k5l6m7n too long for kallsyms (517 >= 512).
Please increase KSYM_NAME_LEN both in kernel and kallsyms.c

Change the mksymtab table so the prefixed symbols are not included
in kallsyms.

Fixes: c104c16073b7 ("Kunit to check the longest symbol length")
