From bea5b74504742f1b51b815bcaf9a70bddbc49ce3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arnd Bergmann Date: Mon, 6 Mar 2023 11:14:51 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] kallsyms: expand symbol name into comment for debugging The assembler output of kallsyms.c is not meant for people to understand, and is generally not helpful when debugging "Inconsistent kallsyms data" warnings. I have previously struggled with these, but found it helpful to list which symbols changed between the first and second pass in the .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms*.S files. As this file is preprocessed, it's possible to add a C-style multiline comment with the full type/name tuple.
