A small patch set that removes some kallsyms includes
here and there. Mostly those kallsyms includes are leftovers:
printk() gained %pS/%pF modifiers support some time ago, so
print_symbol() and friends became sort of unneeded [along with
print_fn_descriptor_symbol() deprecation], thus some of the
users were converted to pS/pF. This patch set just cleans up
that convertion.
We still have a number of print_symbol() users [which
must be converted to ps/pf, print_symbol() uses a stack buffer
KSYM_SYMBOL_LEN to do what printk(ps/pf) can do], but this is
out of scope.
I compile tested the patch set; but, as always and
usual, would be great if 0day build robot double check it.
I grabbed everything and shall drop any patches which later turn up in
the various subsystem trees.
thank you!
