ARM ELF files use symbols with special names $a, $t, $d to identify regions of ARM code, Thumb code and data within code sections. This can cause confusing output from the perf tools, especially for partially stripped binaries, or binaries containing user-added zero-sized symbols (which may occur in hand-written assembler which hasn't been fully annotated with .size directives). This patch filters out these symbols at load time.
