Sorry, I was imprecise. I was referring to the kernel's kallsyms tables produced by scripts/kallsyms.c. This patch left them in the the kallsyms tables and filtered them out from /proc/kallsyms.Yes, but it isn't easy to do it by script/kallsyms.c , and IMO, it should be correct to hide them for user space but keep them in kallsyms table.
So they'll appear in backtraces? And turn up randomly for other symbol dereferences? I don't think you really want this!

It's weird that cpu_v7_suspend_size appeared above, since kallsyms should filter out 'A' symbols already.Sorry, the 'A' symbol is a mistake, but the others do exist in /proc/kallsyms.
Ah, OK. Cheers, Rusty.
