3.16.50-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortma...@windriver.com>
commit 09c20c032b0f753969ae778d9783d946f054d7fe upstream.
Currently the match() function supports a leading * to match any
prefix and a trailing * to match any suffix. However there currently
is not a combination of both that can be used to target matches of
whole families of functions that share a common substring.
Here we expand the *foo and foo* match to also support *foo* with
the goal of targeting compiler generated symbol names that contain
strings like ".constprop." and ".isra."
