If CONFIG_PPC_ISERIES isn't defined we end up with iseries_check_pending_irqs and do_work at the same address. perf ends up picking iseries_check_pending_irqs which creates confusing backtraces. Hide it. Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <redacted>
Just to confirm - these 3 symbol fixes are for the PowerPC tree, not for the perf events tree, right? There's nothing perf specific about the fixes - kgdb, systemtap and other debugging/instrumentation frameworks will benefit from more precise symbol generation too. Ingo
