Subject: objtool/klp: Fix is_uncorrelated_static_local() for Clang
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=84c304a534b844703d3437811e8f072166e3f116;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git

objtool/klp: Fix is_uncorrelated_static_local() for Clang

For naming function-local static locals, GCC uses <var>.<id>, e.g.
__already_done.15, while Clang uses <func>.<var> with optional .<id>,
e.g. create_worker.__already_done.111

The existing is_uncorrelated_static_local() check only matches the GCC
convention where the variable name is a prefix.  Handle both cases by
checking for a prefix match (GCC) and by checking after the first dot
separator (Clang).
