Hi.

> Could you drop the solved ones from the list?

Yes, of course. Do you want me to remove all symbols fixed with patches 
or only those are in-tree now?

Should it be like this:
  1. "torture_onoff_cleanup" [kernel/torture]
     "torture_shuffle_cleanup" [kernel/torture]
     Patch: https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/7/4/411 (accepted)
  2. "LZ4HC_setExternalDict" [lib/lz4/lz4hc_compress]
     Patch: https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/7/8/842
  3. "drm_client_close" [drivers/gpu/drm/drm]
     Patch: https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/7/3/758 (accepted)
  4. "ahci_em_messages" [drivers/ata/libahci]
     Patch: https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/7/10/550 (reviewed)
  5. "ftrace_set_clr_event" [vmlinux]
     Patch: https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/7/4/609 (reviewed)
  6. "rmi_2d_sensor_set_input_params" [drivers/input/rmi4/rmi_core]
     Patch: https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/7/8/999 (accepted)
  10. "empty_zero_page" [vmlinux]
  11. "phys_base" [vmlinux]
  12. "hypercall_page" [vmlinux]

Or like this:
  1. "empty_zero_page" [vmlinux]
  2. "phys_base" [vmlinux]
  3. "hypercall_page" [vmlinux]

Well, I could remove this list at all. It seems like the following list 
with existing commits is enough to show the problem of static exported 
functions.

I will resend the patch shortly after.

Regards,
Denis
