[PATCH v4 0/3] Ignore local labels and mapping symbols during module load

Message-ID <[email protected]>
This series prevents compiler generated local labels and mapping symbols
from leaking into /proc/kallsyms for loaded modules. This ensures tracing
tools like bpftrace can resolve accurate kernel stacks on architectures
like LoongArch.

Based on the latest modules-next tree:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/modules/linux.git/log/?h=modules-next

There are many discussions in the previous version, here is the link:

v4:
  (1) Use is_ignored_kernel_symbol() and update
      tools/perf/util/symbol.h in patch #1
  (2) Keep using is_core_symbol() in patch #2
  (3) Update commit messages of the three patches

  module/kallsyms: Rename is_mapping_symbol() to
    is_ignored_kernel_symbol()
  module/kallsyms: Refactor current symbol filtering into
    is_core_symbol()

    load
