Two patches that update the kallsyms ignore logic. Patch #1 adds logic to introduce symbols whose names end in (or equal) "_veneer". This prevent kallsyms generation errors on large ARM kernels where the emitted veneers will be different between the first and second pass, due to the fact that the size of the kallsyms region itself pushes the .text and .init.text sections further apart during the second pass. Patch #2 removes the handling of the "gcc[0-9]_compiled." symbol. It was only ever emitted by GCC v2.x which we don't support anymore anyway. This series is a followup to ' [RFC PATCH 0/2] ARM large kernels' (http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kbuild.devel/13065), but the other issue addressed by patch #2 of that series will be deferred for now.
