Subject: [PATCH v2 05/16] scripts/kallsyms: remove redundant is_arm_mapping_symbol()
Date: Sun, 24 Nov 2019 01:04:33 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191123160444.11251-6-yamada.masahiro@socionext.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20191123160444.11251-1-yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>
Since commit 6f00df24ee39 ("[PATCH] Strip local symbols from kallsyms"),
all symbols starting '$' are ignored.
is_arm_mapping_symbol() particularly ignores $a, $t, etc. but it is
redundant.
