[ Upstream commit a951884d82886d8453d489f84f20ac168d062b38 ]

lld is now able to build ARMv4 and ARMv4T kernels, which means it can
generate thunks for those (__ARMv4PILongThunk_*, __ARMv4PILongBXThunk_*)
that can interfere with kallsyms table generation since they do not get
ignore like the corresponding ARMv5+ ones are:

Inconsistent kallsyms data
Try "make KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS=1" as a workaround

Replace the hardcoded list of thunk symbols with a more general regex that
covers this one along with future symbols that follow the same pattern.

scripts/mksysmap: Ignore prefixed KCFI symbols

The (relatively) new KCFI feature in LLVM/Clang encodes type information
for C functions by generating symbols named __kcfi_typeid_<fname>, which
can then be referenced from assembly. However, some custom build rules
(e.g. nVHE or early PIE on arm64) use objcopy to add a prefix to all the
symbols in their object files, making mksysmap's ignore filter miss
those KCFI symbols.

Therefore, explicitly list those twice-prefixed KCFI symbols as ignored.

Alternatively, this could also be achieved in a less verbose way by
ignoring any symbol containing the string "__kcfi_typeid_". However,
listing the combined prefixes explicitly saves us from running the small
risk of ignoring symbols that should be kept.

scripts/mksysmap: Fix badly escaped '$'

The backslash characters escaping '$' in the command to sed (intended to
prevent it from interpreting '$' as "end-of-line") are currently being
consumed by the Shell (where they mean that sh should not evaluate what
follows '$' as a variable name). This means that

sed -e "/ \$/d"

executes the script

/ $/d

instead of the intended

/ \$/d

So escape twice in mksysmap any '$' that actually needs to reach sed
escaped so that the backslash survives the Shell.

We already ignore __crc_* symbols populated by EXPORT_SYMBOL, so it
should be fine to ignore __kstrtab_* and __kstrtabns_* as well.

kbuild: strip generated symbols from *.ko

This patch changes the way __crc_ symbols are being resolved from
using ld to do so to using the assembler, thus allowing these symbols
to be marked local (the linker creates then as global ones) and hence
allow stripping (for modules) or ignoring (for vmlinux) them. While at
this, also strip other generated symbols during module installation.

One potentially debatable point is the handling of the flags passeed
to gcc when translating the intermediate assembly file into an object:
passing $(c_flags) unchanged doesn't work as gcc passes --gdwarf2 to
gas whenever is sees any -g* option, even for -g0, and despite the
fact that the compiler would have already produced all necessary debug
info in the C->assembly translation phase. I took the approach of just
filtering out all -g* options, but an alternative to such negative
filtering might be to have a positive filter which might, in the ideal
case allow just all the -Wa,* options to pass through.
