perf symbols: Handle 'N' symbols in /proc/kallsyms
I started seeing this in recent Fedora 42 kernels:
# uname -a
Linux number 6.16.3-200.fc42.x86_64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Sat Aug 23 17:02:17 UTC 2025 x86_64 GNU/Linux
#
# perf test vmlinux
1: vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms : FAILED!
#
Rust is enabled and these were the symbols causing the above failure,
i.e. found in vmlinux but not in /proc/kallsyms:
$ grep -w N /proc/kallsyms
0000000000000000 N __pfx__RNCINvNtNtNtCsbDUBuN8AbD4_4core4iter8adapters3map12map_try_foldjNtCs6vVzKs5jPr6_12drm_panic_qr7VersionuINtNtNtBa_3ops12control_flow11ControlFlowB10_ENcB10_0NCINvNvNtNtNtB8_6traits8iterator8Iterator4find5checkB10_NCNvMB12_B10_13from_segments0E0E0B12_
0000000000000000 N _RNCINvNtNtNtCsbDUBuN8AbD4_4core4iter8adapters3map12map_try_foldjNtCs6vVzKs5jPr6_12drm_panic_qr7VersionuINtNtNtBa_3ops12control_flow11ControlFlowB10_ENcB10_0NCINvNvNtNtNtB8_6traits8iterator8Iterator4find5checkB10_NCNvMB12_B10_13from_segments0E0E0B12_
$
So accept those 'N' symbols as well.
About them, from 'man nm':
"N" The symbol is a debugging symbol.
"n" The symbol is in a non-data, non-code, non-debug read-only section.
