gcc on aarch64 may emit synbols of type 'n' if the kernel is built with
'-frecord-gcc-switches'. In most cases, those symbols are reported with
nm as
000000000000000e n $d
and with objdump as
0000000000000000 l d .GCC.command.line 0000000000000000 .GCC.command.line
000000000000000e l .GCC.command.line 0000000000000000 $d
Those symbols are detected in is_arm_mapping_symbol() and ignored.
However, if "--prefix-symbols=<prefix>" is configured as well, the
situation is different. For example, in efi/libstub, arm64 images are
built with
'--prefix-alloc-sections=.init --prefix-symbols=__efistub_'.
In combination with '-frecord-gcc-switches', the symbols are now reported
by nm as:
000000000000000e n __efistub_$d
and by objdump as:
0000000000000000 l d .GCC.command.line 0000000000000000 .GCC.command.line
000000000000000e l .GCC.command.line 0000000000000000 __efistub_$d
Those symbols are no longer ignored and included in the base address
calculation. This results in a base address of 000000000000000e, which
in turn causes kallsyms to abort with
kallsyms failure:
relative symbol value 0xffffff900800a000 out of range in relative mode
The problem is seen in little endian arm64 builds with CONFIG_EFI
enabled and with '-frecord-gcc-switches' set in KCFLAGS.
Explicitly ignore symbols of type 'n' since those are clearly debug
symbols.
