Hi Greg and Sasha,
Would you mind picking up this lone patch for 4.19 and 4.14 stable branches?
Attached are backports for 4.19 (applied cleanly) and 4.14 (needed to
be manually backported). Let me know if you'd prefer me to just send
2 emails (one for each patch). I considered using mbox files, but
seems like kind of a waste for a lone patch.
(Note that Autosel already picked up Upstream commit
3bbd3db86470c701091fb1d67f1fab6621debf50 which I would have included
with this one otherwise).

Thanks,

Subject: [4.14 PATCH] arm64: drop linker script hack to hide __efistub_ symbols
commit dd6846d774693bfa27d7db4dae5ea67dfe373fa1 upstream.
Commit 1212f7a16af4 ("scripts/kallsyms: filter arm64's __efistub_
symbols") updated the kallsyms code to filter out symbols with
the __efistub_ prefix explicitly, so we no longer require the
hack in our linker script to emit them as absolute symbols.
