The patch titled
     Subject: kallsyms: unexport kallsyms_lookup_name() and kallsyms_on_each_symbol()
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     kallsyms-unexport-kallsyms_lookup_name-and-kallsyms_on_each_symbol.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

------------------------------------------------------
From: Will Deacon <will@kernel.org>
Subject: kallsyms: unexport kallsyms_lookup_name() and kallsyms_on_each_symbol()

kallsyms_lookup_name() and kallsyms_on_each_symbol() are exported to
modules despite having no in-tree users and being wide open to abuse by
out-of-tree modules that can use them as a method to invoke arbitrary
non-exported kernel functions.

Unexport kallsyms_lookup_name() and kallsyms_on_each_symbol().
