[PATCH 08/17] Kbuild, lto: Drop .number postfixes in modpost

From: Andi Kleen
Date: Sat Feb 08 2014 - 03:06:40 EST


LTO turns all global symbols effectively into statics. This
has the side effect that they all have a .NUMBER postfix to make
them unique. In modpost drop this postfix because it confuses
it.
