Create a fake root directory for /proc/{version,modules,kallsyms} in
/tmp for testing. The kallsyms has a bad symbol in the module and it
causes the main map splitted. The test ensures it only has two maps -
kernel and the module and it finds the initial map after the module
without creating the split maps like [kernel].0 and so on.
$ perf test -vv "split kallsyms"

============
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 reStructuredText 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.
