The backslash characters escaping '$' in the command to sed (intended to
prevent it from interpreting '$' as "end-of-line") are currently being
consumed by the Shell (where they mean that sh should not evaluate what
follows '$' as a variable name). This means that
sed -e "/ \$/d"
executes the script
/ $/d
instead of the intended
/ \$/d
So escape twice in mksysmap any '$' that actually needs to reach sed
escaped so that the backslash survives the Shell.
Fixes: c4802044a0 ("scripts/mksysmap: use sed with in-line comments")
Fixes: 320e7c9d44 ("scripts/kallsyms: move compiler-generated symbol patterns to mksysmap")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
