- default y
- help
- If you say Y here, a user level program will be able to map
- file names to handle and then later use the handle for
- different file system operations. This is useful in implementing
- userspace file servers, which now track files using handles instead
- of names. The handle would remain the same even if file names
- get renamed. Enables open_by_handle_at(2) and name_to_handle_at(2)
- syscalls.

-config KALLSYMS
- bool "Load all symbols for debugging/ksymoops" if EXPERT

- help
- Say Y here to let the kernel print out symbolic crash information and

- somewhat, as all symbols have to be loaded into the kernel image.

-config KALLSYMS_ALL
- bool "Include all symbols in kallsyms"
- depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && KALLSYMS
- help
- 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).
-
- This option makes sure that all symbols are loaded into the kernel
- image (i.e., symbols from all sections) in cost of increased kernel
- size (depending on the kernel configuration, it may be 300KiB or
- something like this).

- Say N unless you really need all symbols.

- help
- Instead of emitting them as absolute values in the native word size,
- emit the symbol references in the kallsyms table as 32-bit entries,
- each containing a relative value in the range [base, base + U32_MAX]
- or, when KALLSYMS_ABSOLUTE_PERCPU is in effect, each containing either
- an absolute value in the range [0, S32_MAX] or a relative value in the
- range [base, base + S32_MAX], where base is the lowest relative symbol
- address encountered in the image.
-
- On 64-bit builds, this reduces the size of the address table by 50%,
- but more importantly, it results in entries whose values are build
- time constants, and no relocation pass is required at runtime to fix
- up the entries based on the runtime load address of the kernel.
