Help text

When modules are built into the kernel, there will be no module name associated with its symbols in /proc/kallsyms. Tracers may want to identify symbols by module name and symbol name regardless of whether the module is configured as loadable or not.

This option generates modules.builtin.ranges in the build tree with offset ranges (per ELF section) for the module(s) they belong to. It also records an anchor symbol to determine the load address of the section.
