[PATCH v2] kallsyms: strip ThinLTO postfix ".cfi_jt"

From: Padmanabha Srinivasaiah
Date: Tue Jul 27 2021 - 10:07:50 EST


Clang ThinLTO adds a postfix ".cfi_jt" to a symbols of extern functions.
For example this breaks syscall tracer that doesn't expect such postfix,
so strip out the postfix from the output.

Change in v2:
- Use existing routine in kallsyms to strip postfix ".cfi_jt" from
extern function name.
- Modified the commit message accordingly
