    scripts/kallsyms: change the output order · 404bad70
    Masahiro Yamada authored
    Currently, this tool outputs symbol data in the following order.
    
     (1) kallsyms_addressed / kallsyms_offsets
     (2) kallsyms_relative_base
     (3) kallsyms_num_syms
     (4) kallsyms_names
     (5) kallsyms_markers
     (6) kallsyms_seq_of_names
     (7) kallsyms_token_table
     (8) kallsyms_token_index
    
    This commit changes the order as follows:
    
     (1) kallsyms_num_syms
     (2) kallsyms_names
     (3) kallsyms_markers
     (4) kallsyms_token_table
     (5) kallsyms_token_index
     (6) kallsyms_addressed / kallsyms_offsets
     (7) kallsyms_relative_base
     (8) kallsyms_seq_of_names
    
    The motivation is to decrease the number of function calls to
    expand_symbol() and cleanup_symbol_name().
    
    The compressed names are only required for writing 'kallsyms_names'.
    If you do this first, we can restore the original symbol names.
    You do not need to repeat the same operation over again.
    
    The actual refactoring will happen in the next commit.
