Using kallsyms_lookup_names function to speed up symbols lookup in
kprobe multi link attachment and replacing with it the current
kprobe_multi_resolve_syms function.
This speeds up bpftrace kprobe attachment:
# perf stat -r 5 -e cycles ./src/bpftrace -e 'kprobe:x* { } i:ms:1 { exit(); }'
...
6.5681 +- 0.0225 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.34% )
After:
# perf stat -r 5 -e cycles ./src/bpftrace -e 'kprobe:x* { } i:ms:1 { exit(); }'
...
0.5661 +- 0.0275 seconds time elapsed ( +- 4.85% )

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.
