#! /bin/bash

# A lot of symbols are exported by the main kernel image. Find out
# more precisely which built-in.o file defines them, and fill in
# that information in Module.symvers. (The built-in.o files are
# linked together from one or more object files in a directory.)
#   We use this information to better group symbols by subsystems.

# Usage: built-in-where < Module.symvers
