[PATCH v5 02/22] scripts/kallsyms: Ignore __kcfi_typeid_

From: Sami Tolvanen <samitolvanen@google.com>
Date: 2022-09-08 21:55:28
Also in: linux-hardening, lkml, llvm
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

The compiler generates __kcfi_typeid_ symbols for annotating assembly
functions with type information. These are constants that can be
referenced in assembly code and are resolved by the linker. Ignore
them in kallsyms.
