Sorry, the commit message seems to imply a bug in llvm-nm, but I don't
think that's the case.  If it is, please, send us a bugreport.

$ aarch64-linux-gnu-nm arch/arm64/kernel/vdso32/vdso.so.raw | grep thumb
00000968 T __kernel_rt_sigreturn_thumb
00000960 T __kernel_sigreturn_thumb
00000968 t VDSO_compat_rt_sigreturn_thumb
00000960 t VDSO_compat_sigreturn_thumb
$ llvm-nm arch/arm64/kernel/vdso32/vdso.so.raw | grep thumb
00000968 t VDSO_compat_rt_sigreturn_thumb
00000960 t VDSO_compat_sigreturn_thumb
00000968 T __kernel_rt_sigreturn_thumb
00000960 T __kernel_sigreturn_thumb
$ /usr/bin/nm arch/arm64/kernel/vdso32/vdso.so.raw | grep thumb
00000969 T __kernel_rt_sigreturn_thumb
00000961 T __kernel_sigreturn_thumb
00000969 t VDSO_compat_rt_sigreturn_thumb
00000961 t VDSO_compat_sigreturn_thumb
$ /usr/bin/nm --version
GNU nm (GNU Binutils for Debian) 2.35.1

Would you mind amending the commit message to not imply that llvm-nm is broken?

It might be of interest to find out why the host `nm` was invoked,
rather than $(NM)/$(CROSS_COMPILE)nm.
