 # Generate System.map (actual filename passed as second argument)

-# For System.map filter away:
-#   a - local absolute symbols
-#   U - undefined global symbols
-#   N - debugging symbols
-#   w - local weak symbols
-
 # readprofile starts reading symbols when _stext is found, and
 # continue until it finds a symbol which is not either of 'T', 't',
 # 'W' or 'w'.
 #
-# Ignored prefixes:
-#  $                    - local symbols for ARM, MIPS, etc.
-#  .L                   - local labels, .LBB,.Ltmpxxx,.L__unnamed_xx,.LASANPC, etc.
-#  __crc_               - modversions
-#  __kstrtab_           - EXPORT_SYMBOL (symbol name)
-#  __kstrtabns_         - EXPORT_SYMBOL (namespace)
