When CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS is enabled, I see some warnings like this:
nm: arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso32/note.o: no symbols
$NM (both GNU nm and llvm-nm) warns when no symbol is found in the
object. Suppress the stderr.
Fangrui Song mentioned binutils>=2.37 `nm -q` can be used to suppress
"no symbols" [1], and llvm-nm>=13.0.0 supports -q as well.
We cannot use it for now, but note it as a TODO.

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.
