Zhen Lei da359f699f kallsyms: Reduce the memory occupied by kallsyms_seqs_of_names[]
[ Upstream commit 19bd8981dc2ee35fdc81ab1b0104b607c917d470 ]

kallsyms_seqs_of_names[] records the symbol index sorted by address, the
maximum value in kallsyms_seqs_of_names[] is the number of symbols. And
2^24 = 16777216, which means that three bytes are enough to store the
index. This can help us save (1 * kallsyms_num_syms) bytes of memory.

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.
