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:

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