The .L-prefixed exception handling symbols of get_user() and put_user()
do get discarded from the symbol table of the final kernel image.
This confuses tools which parse that symbol table and try to map the
chunk of code to a symbol. And, in general, from toolchain perspective,
it is a good practice to have all code belong to a symbol, and the
correct one at that.
( Currently, objdump displays that exception handling chunk as part
of the previous symbol which is a "fallback" of sorts and not
correct. )
While at it, rename them to something more descriptive.

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.
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.
