      scripts/kallsyms: filter symbols not in kernel address space · f6537f2f
      Ming Lei authored
      This patch uses CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET to filter symbols which
      are not in kernel address space because these symbols are
      generally for generating code purpose and can't be run at
      kernel mode, so we needn't keep them in /proc/kallsyms.
      
      For example, on ARM there are some symbols which may be
      linked in relocatable code section, then perf can't parse
      symbols any more from /proc/kallsyms, this patch fixes the
      problem (introduced b9b32bf7)

      Pull USB fixes from Greg KH:
       "Here is a set of patches that revert all of the changes done to the
        pl2303 USB serial driver in the 3.12-rc timeframe, as it turns out
        they break some devices that work just fine on 3.11.  As it's not a
        good idea to break working systems, drop them all and they will be
        reworked for future kernel versions such that there is no breakage.
      
        I've also included a MAINTAINERS update for the USB serial subsystem
        and a new device id for the ftdi_sio driver as well"
