- Normally kallsyms only contains the symbols of functions for nicer
- OOPS messages and backtraces (i.e., symbols from the text and inittext
- sections). This is sufficient for most cases. And only in very rare
- cases (e.g., when a debugger is used) all symbols are required (e.g.,
- names of variables from the data sections, etc).
