Remove the split of symbol tables for data (MAP__VARIABLE) and for functions (MAP__FUNCTION), its unneeded and there were various places doing two lookups to find a symbol, so simplify this. We still will consider only the symbols that matched the filters in place, i.e. see the (elf_(sec,sym)|symbol_type)__filter() routines in the patch, just so that we consider only the same symbols as before, to reduce the possibility of regressions. All the tests on 50-something build environments, in varios versions of lots of distros and cross build environments were performed without build regressions, as usual with all pull requests the other tests were also performed: 'perf test' and 'make -C tools/perf build-test'. Also this was done at a great granularity so that regressions can be bisected more easily.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
