+ Normally kallsyms only contains the symbols of functions for nicer

- If kallsyms is not working correctly, the build will fail with

- turn on KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS which should result in a stable build.
- Always say N here unless you find a bug in kallsyms, which must be
- reported. KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS is only a temporary workaround while
- you wait for kallsyms to be fixed.
+ This option makes sure that all symbols are loaded into the kernel

+ size (depending on the kernel configuration, it may be 300KiB or
+ something like this).
