[PATCH v3] kallsyms: strip CLANG CFI postfix ".cfi_jt"

From: Padmanabha Srinivasaiah
Date: Thu Jul 29 2021 - 16:57:05 EST


Clang CFI 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 expanded symbol.

Change in v3:
- Modified commit message to indicate fix is for Clang CFI postfix
- Rebased on recent patch from ndesaulniers@xxxxxxxxxx.
- Fix is enabled even for CONFIG_LTO_CLANG

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