module: Fix performance regression on modules with large symbol tables Looking at /proc/kallsyms, one starts to ponder whether all of the extra strtab-related complexity in module.c is worth the memory savings. Instead of making the add_kallsyms() loop even more complex, I tried the other route of deleting the strmap logic and naively copying each string into core_strtab with no consideration for consolidating duplicates. Performance on an "already exists" insmod of nvidia.ko (runs add_kallsyms() but does not actually initialize the module): Original scheme: 1.230s With naive copying: 0.058s Extra space used: 35k (of a 408k module).
