Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> reported that he saw a lot of symbols like this: 0000000000000b24 N DW.aio.h.903a6d92.2 0000000000000bce N DW.task_io_accounting.h.8d8de327.0 0000000000000bec N DW.hrtimer.h.c23659c6.0 in his System.map / kallsyms output. Simple solution is to skip all debugging symbols (they are marked 'N'). Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Cc: Paulo Marques <pmarques@grupopie.com>

Based on the vmlinux file create the System.map file
System.map is used by module-init tools and some debugging
tools to retrieve the actual addresses of symbols in the kernel.
Usage
mksysmap vmlinux System.map
Generate System.map (actual filename passed as second argument)
$NM produces the following output:
f0081e80 T alloc_vfsmnt
The second row specify the type of the symbol:
A = Absolute
B = Uninitialised data (.bss)
C = Comon symbol
D = Initialised data
G = Initialised data for small objects
I = Indirect reference to another symbol
N = Debugging symbol
R = Read only
S = Uninitialised data for small objects
T = Text code symbol
U = Undefined symbol
V = Weak symbol
W = Weak symbol
Corresponding small letters are local symbols
For System.map filter away:
a - local absolute symbols
U - undefined global symbols
N - debugging symbols
w - local weak symbols
readprofile starts reading symbols when _stext is found, and
continue until it finds a symbol which is not either of 'T', 't',
'W' or 'w'. _crc are 'A' and placed in the middle
so we just ignore them to let readprofile continue to work.
(At least sparc64 has _crc in the middle).
$NM -n $1 | grep -v '( [aNUw] )|(_crc)|( $[adt])' > $2
