Subject: [PATCHv3 3/9] kallsyms: exclude pseudo symbols for __init / __exit strings
Date: Thu, 21 Aug 2014 14:23:06 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1408623792-7973-4-git-send-email-minipli@googlemail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1408623792-7973-1-git-send-email-minipli@googlemail.com>

The __init_str() / __exit_str() annotations create pseudo symbols.
Ignore them, they have no value for us.
