The dynamic-list-file used to export dynamic symbols introduced in
commit e3d09ec812 ("tools lib traceevent: Export dynamic symbols
used by traceevent plugins")
is generated without any sort of error checking.
I experienced problems due to an old version of nm (v 0.158) that outputs
in a format distinct from the assumed by the script.
Robustify the built of dynamic symbol list by enforcing that the second
column of $(NM) -u <files> is either "U" (Undefined), "W" or "w" (undefined
weak), which are the possible outputs from non-ancient $(NM) versions.
Print an error if format is unexpected.
v2: Accept "W" and "w" symbol options.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
