From: Victor Kamensky <[email protected]> Aarch64 ELF files use mapping symbols with special names $x, $d to identify regions of Aarch64 code (see Aarch64 ELF ABI - "ARM IHI 0056B", section "4.5.4 Mapping symbols").
The patch filters out these symbols at load time, similar to "696b97a perf symbols: Ignore mapping symbols on ARM" changes done for ARM before V8. Also added handling of mapping symbols that has format "$d.<any>" and similar for both cases. Note we are not making difference between EM_ARM and EM_AARCH64 mapping symbols instead code handles superset of both.
