In that case, objtool won't see them and won't generate ORC info for
them. That means not only they disappear from stacktraces, but it will
be disallowed to unwind below them. Note that objtool currently reads
symtables and looks for STT_FUNC in them.
We can make them local (.L*) when the patchset is applied and all
functions are annotated properly -- then we won't need entries in the
global symtable. We can store the info in some private table and delete
it after objtool is done with the object.
thanks,
