mksysmap is a sed script consisting of 30 patterns which link-vmlinux.sh
uses to generate *.syms files, and which kallsyms is then called against to
generate *.kallsyms files, with the final vmlinux build ultimately
generating System.map.
For an x86-64 allmodconfig build, this involves three nm runs over a 250
MiB file and half a million lines written and read each time - 0.5s per
pass for llvm-nm, and 0.2s for GNU nm, with parsing on top of that.
This is unnecessary, instead have kallsyms simply read the ELF file
directly making use of the existing elf-parse library in scripts/.
This changes kallsyms such that its input is no longer the output from nm,
but rather an ELF file.
However, if the input file is empty, it outputs an empty table, which
retains the same behaviour on first pass that the build system expects.
System.map is byte-identical to nm | mksysmap for GNU nm and llvm-nm on
two x86 configurations each, and for llvm-nm on arm64, arm, s390 and
loongarch defconfigs, so are the kallsyms tables of every pass.
