The .L-prefixed exception handling symbols of get_user() and put_user() do get discarded from the symbol table of the final kernel image. This confuses tools which parse that symbol table and try to map the chunk of code to a symbol. And, in general, from toolchain perspective, it is a good practice to have all code belong to a symbol, and the correct one at that. ( Currently, objdump displays that exception handling chunk as part of the previous symbol which is a "fallback" of sorts and not correct. ) While at it, rename them to something more descriptive.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
