When CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS is enabled, I see some warnings like this:

  nm: arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso32/note.o: no symbols

$NM (both GNU nm and llvm-nm) warns when no symbol is found in the
object. Suppress the stderr.

Fixes: bbda5ec671d3 ("kbuild: simplify dependency generation for CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS")

You mean stderr.
