[PATCH v2 06/53] objtool/klp: Don't report uncorrelated functions as new
From: Josh Poimboeuf
Date: Fri May 01 2026 - 00:11:15 EST
Clang LTO uses __UNIQUE_ID() to generate some uniquely named wrapper
functions, like initstubs. If they're uncorrelated, prevent them from
being reported as new functions and included unnecessarily.
Note that dont_correlate() already includes prefix functions, so prefix
functions are still being ignored here.
