$ llvm-nm vmlinux | grep -e 'T ' -e 't '
...
ffff800010cce56c t xhci_map_urb_for_dma
ffff800010cce56c t xhci_map_urb_for_dma.86d975cb70058c10e8ae4c2960627264
ffff800011227f28 t xhci_map_urb_for_dma.86d975cb70058c10e8ae4c2960627264.cfi_jt
...

so I think it's not just the `.cfi_jt` that we want to truncate.  Sami
asked me about sending a v5 for
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210707181814.365496-1-ndesaulniers@xxxxxxxxxx/;
I was looking to rebase your v5 on my patch, but Sami also noted that
here https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CABCJKue5Ay6_+8sibzh5wRh3gPzV1g72gJ9m2ot4E1ezj8bpHA@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/
that the separator was changed from $ to . for other CFI symbols in
clang-13.

So I think I'm going to "combine" our patches to truncate after the
first `.` as long as CONFIG_LTO_CLANG is enabled, but still check for
`$` for clang-12 for CONFIG_CFI_CLANG.  I will credit you with the
Suggested-by tag; stay tuned.
