Vasily Gorbik 33177f01ca kallsyms: exclude kasan local symbols on s390
gcc asan instrumentation emits the following sequence to store frame pc
when the kernel is built with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE:
debug/vsprintf.s:
        .section        .data.rel.ro.local,"aw"
        .align  8
.LC3:
        .quad   .LASANPC4826@GOTOFF
.text
        .align  8
        .type   number, @function
number:
.LASANPC4826:

and in case reloc is issued for LASANPC label it also gets into .symtab
with the same address as actual function symbol:
$ nm -n vmlinux | grep 0000000001397150
0000000001397150 t .LASANPC4826
0000000001397150 t number

In the end kernel backtraces are almost unreadable:
[  143.748476] Call Trace:
[  143.748484] ([<000000002da3e62c>] .LASANPC2671+0x114/0x190)

[  143.748587]  [<000000002ecdf2ec>] system_call+0xd8/0x2d8

Since LASANPC labels are not even unique and get into .symtab only due
to relocs filter them out in kallsyms.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
