The (relatively) new KCFI feature in LLVM/Clang encodes type information for C functions by generating symbols named __kcfi_typeid_<fname>, which can then be referenced from assembly. However, some custom build rules (e.g. nVHE or early PIE on arm64) use objcopy to add a prefix to all the symbols in their object files, making mksysmap's ignore filter miss those KCFI symbols. Therefore, explicitly list those twice-prefixed KCFI symbols as ignored. Alternatively, this could also be achieved in a less verbose way by ignoring any symbol containing the string "__kcfi_typeid_". However, listing the combined prefixes explicitly saves us from running the small risk of ignoring symbols that should be kept.

README
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.
