Subject[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.4 03/17] perf probe powerpc: Ignore SyS symbols irrespective of endianness
Date
From: Sandipan Das <sandipan@linux.ibm.com>

[ Upstream commit fa694160cca6dbba17c57dc7efec5f93feaf8795 ]

This makes sure that the SyS symbols are ignored for any powerpc system,
not just the big endian ones.
