Added test cases for basic functions and performance of functions kallsyms_lookup_name(), kallsyms_on_each_symbol() and kallsyms_on_each_match_symbol(). It also calculates the compression rate of the kallsyms compression algorithm for the current symbol set. The basic functions test begins by testing a set of symbols whose address values are known. Then, traverse all symbol addresses and find the corresponding symbol name based on the address. It's impossible to determine whether these addresses are correct, but we can use the above three functions along with the addresses to test each other. Due to the traversal operation of kallsyms_on_each_symbol() is too slow, only 60 symbols can be tested in one second, so let it test on average once every 128 symbols. The other two functions validate all symbols. If the basic functions test is passed, print only performance test results. If the test fails, print error information, but do not perform subsequent performance tests. Start self-test automatically after system startup if CONFIG_KALLSYMS_SELFTEST=y.

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.
