Masahiro Yamada 320e7c9d44 scripts/kallsyms: move compiler-generated symbol patterns to mksysmap
scripts/kallsyms.c maintains compiler-generated symbols, but we end up
with something similar in scripts/mksysmap to avoid the "Inconsistent
kallsyms data" error. For example, commit c17a253870 ("mksysmap: Fix
the mismatch of 'L0' symbols in System.map").

They were separately maintained prior to commit 94ff2f63d6 ("kbuild:
reuse mksysmap output for kallsyms").

Now that scripts/kallsyms.c parses the output of scripts/mksysmap,
it makes more sense to collect all the ignored patterns to mksysmap.

Masahiro Yamada ca09bf48f9 scripts/kallsyms: exclude symbols generated by itself dynamically
Drop the symbols generated by scripts/kallsyms itself automatically
instead of maintaining the symbol list manually.

Pass the kallsyms object from the previous kallsyms step (if it exists)
as the third parameter of scripts/mksysmap, which will weed out the
generated symbols from the input to the next kallsyms step.

It is not feasible to insert comments in a multi-line shell command.
Use sed, and move comments close to the code.

Masahiro Yamada d32b55f4bb kallsyms: ignore __kstrtab_* and __kstrtabns_* symbols
Every EXPORT_SYMBOL creates __kstrtab_* and __kstrtabns_*, which
consumes 15-20% of the kallsyms entries.

For example, on the system built from the x86_64 defconfig,

  $ cat /proc/kallsyms | wc
     129527    388581   5685465
  $ cat /proc/kallsyms | grep __kstrtab | wc
      23489     70467   1187932

We already ignore __crc_* symbols populated by EXPORT_SYMBOL, so it
should be fine to ignore __kstrtab_* and __kstrtabns_* as well.

This makes vmlinux a bit smaller.

  $ size vmlinux.before vmlinux.after
     text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
  22785374        8559694 1413328 32758396        1f3da7c vmlinux.before

Since commit 7b4537199a ("kbuild: link symbol CRCs at final link,

absolute.

Keep ignoring __crc_*, but update the comment.

Youling Tang c17a253870 mksysmap: Fix the mismatch of 'L0' symbols in System.map
When System.map was generated, the kernel used mksysmap to filter the
kernel symbols, we need to filter "L0" symbols in LoongArch architecture.

$ cat System.map | grep L0
9000000000221540 t L0

The L0 symbol exists in System.map, but not in .tmp_System.map. When
"cmp -s System.map .tmp_System.map" will show "Inconsistent kallsyms
data" error message in link-vmlinux.sh script.

ashimida 72d24accf0 mksysmap: Fix the mismatch of '.L' symbols in System.map
When System.map was generated, the kernel used mksysmap to
filter the kernel symbols, but all the symbols with the
second letter 'L' in the kernel were filtered out, not just
the symbols starting with 'dot + L'.

For example:
ashimida@ubuntu:~/linux$ cat System.map |grep ' .L'
ashimida@ubuntu:~/linux$ nm -n vmlinux |grep ' .L'
ffff0000088028e0 t bLength_show
......
ffff0000092e0408 b PLLP_OUTC_lock
ffff0000092e0410 b PLLP_OUTA_lock

The original intent should be to filter out all local symbols
starting with '.L', so the dot should be escaped.

Sam Ravnborg 2ea038917b Revert "kbuild: strip generated symbols from *.ko"
This reverts commit ad7a953c52.

And commit: ("allow stripping of generated symbols under CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ALL")
            9bb482476c

These stripping patches has caused a set of issues:

1) People have reported compatibility issues with binutils due to
   lack of support for `--strip-unneeded-symbols' with objcopy 2.15.92.0.2
   Reported by: Wenji
2) ccache and distcc no longer works as expeced
   Reported by: Ted, Roland, + others
3) The installed modules increased a lot in size

Jan Beulich ad7a953c52 kbuild: strip generated symbols from *.ko
This patch changes the way __crc_ symbols are being resolved from
using ld to do so to using the assembler, thus allowing these symbols
to be marked local (the linker creates then as global ones) and hence
allow stripping (for modules) or ignoring (for vmlinux) them. While at
this, also strip other generated symbols during module installation.

One potentially debatable point is the handling of the flags passeed
to gcc when translating the intermediate assembly file into an object:
passing $(c_flags) unchanged doesn't work as gcc passes --gdwarf2 to
gas whenever is sees any -g* option, even for -g0, and despite the
fact that the compiler would have already produced all necessary debug
info in the C->assembly translation phase. I took the approach of just
filtering out all -g* options, but an alternative to such negative
filtering might be to have a positive filter which might, in the ideal
case allow just all the -Wa,* options to pass through.

Sam Ravnborg aab34ac858 kbuild: filter away debug symbols from kernel symbols
Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org>
reported that he saw a lot of symbols like this:

0000000000000b24 N DW.aio.h.903a6d92.2
0000000000000bce N DW.task_io_accounting.h.8d8de327.0
0000000000000bec N DW.hrtimer.h.c23659c6.0

in his System.map / kallsyms output.

Simple solution is to skip all debugging
symbols (they are marked 'N').

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
