[PATCH] rust: kbuild: Don't export __pfx symbols

From: Sami Tolvanen
Date: Tue Mar 18 2025 - 19:18:30 EST


With CONFIG_PREFIX_SYMBOLS, objtool adds __pfx prefix symbols
to claim the compiler emitted call padding bytes. When
CONFIG_X86_KERNEL_IBT is not selected, the symbols are added to
individual object files and for Rust objects, they end up being
exported, resulting in warnings with CONFIG_GENDWARFKSYMS as the
symbols have no debugging information:

warning: gendwarfksyms: symbol_print_versions: no information for symbol __pfx_rust_helper_put_task_struct
warning: gendwarfksyms: symbol_print_versions: no information for symbol __pfx_rust_helper_task_euid
warning: gendwarfksyms: symbol_print_versions: no information for symbol __pfx_rust_helper_readq_relaxed
...

Filter out the __pfx prefix from exported symbols similarly to
the existing __cfi and __odr_asan prefixes.
